How does blocking spells work?
|
Hi I've got like 15% chance to block spells but I've never really seen myself block a spell. How does blocking spells work? I can imagine blocking a fireball but can I block spells like spark....ice nova? Can someone knowledgeable about this please enlighten me please! Does blocking spells mean I can avoid spell ailments? helppp

the only way to block a spell is to move out of the way, block does not affect spells unless you have certain passives and perhaps unique items that make it do so.
resists are the block for spells. |

" I am guessing that he knows this. He just doesn't see his character blocking anything and is wondering how he can know. If you have a chance to block spells it should work on any spell. Standard Forever

i've mentioned that i have 15% chance to block spells.... what I want to know is what spells can I block... Like I am pretty sure I can block a fireball or projectile spell but can I block an aoe spell such as ICE nova or Firestorm ?

A good question. Would like to know this!
But for a guess, you don't see the block, it just fully negates a targeted spell (fireball, lightning balls, ice balls of those pesky skeleton mages). |

A block animation will only be visible if the attack would have caused a stun.
If you cannot be stunned you´ll never see a blocking animation. edit: also as far as i know you can block every spell that would cause damage What can never be lent or earned? Somewhat, that devours everyone and everything: A tree that rush. A bird that sings. It eat bones and smite the hardest stones. Masticate every sword. Shatters every shrine. It defeat mighty kings and carry mountains on lightly wings. What am i? Dernière édition par Spysong192#7559, le 15 janv. 2013 à 16:48:02

also for any1 that has Saffel Frame how does it work? 110% of Block Chance Applied to Spells
caps you at at 75% spell block even with 1% block right? |
|
" No. 110% is a modifier of your block, not an addition. If you have 1% block, the value is 1*1.10=1.1% spell block. With 20% block the value is 20*1.10=22% spell block. |
|
" Block and Spell block combined should allow you to block mostly any type of damage, expect I believe things like the Health draining Bears and such; But you won't see the block animation unless it would have taken more than 12.5% of your life. |
