I love tanking so I planned on leveling Marauder/Pugilist after I finish with Gladiator. Is it possible to parry/evade enemy weapon skills? That might be a huge advantage to Pugilist since shield blocking has no effect on them.
I was not aware of that, though it could change when they make blocking a proc % instead of being a limited duration action like it is now.
