    AB and Deflection are still "meh" skills on any mobs (though mainly boss types) that rely on WS/magic based damage as its main offense.

    I hope this is addressed when they do class adjustments.

    Just use your battle log. It will read 'Your Block Fails' or what not、　And you will take full damage when that happens regardless of what skill is active.

    and Note that Scutums have 99% block rate,　kite shields have 90%, so if youre a scutum user you may have never noticed the difference, only 1% chance not to block.

    I prefer having control of my character. The computer doing things for me isn't what I would prefer. /shrug

    It's not that big of deal though.

    guard was one of those things that really made sense back under the original alpha combat system. Its been a vestigial organ for many many moons now. happy to see it go.

    I have seen the log say 'your block fails' while my shield was up before.

    True, it was a square wooden shield, many moons ago...

    mixed about it... we'll see how it goes. im not lazy so pushing to guard or guarding without pushing doesnt really matter to me. i hope they did good by it.

    Never really used a shield before so won't really know what the difference is once I finally get around to playing Gladiator.

    From what I can tell in the thread though, looks like if I had used one I'd be glad to see it go though
