Talk:Blocking and Perfect Blocks/@comment-3498155-20141102230810

I see from previous comments that knockback/stagger resistances are a factor, so to is the actual shield used. That's pretty vital info imo. I'm not a melee fan, so the few times I half-heartedly tested perfect blocking and didn't get it to work was quite discouraging especially when unaware of the variables involved. Knowing that a decent shield and k/s def% rate factored in would have helped.

I've seen some fighter pawns do it, but it didn't seem as consistent as the other comments make it out to be. Again, this could be down to those pawns also not having the requisite k/s def% or good enough shield - after all, people screw up even something as simple as their pawn's inclination, I'm not surprised at all that their pawns can't pull off perfect blocks due to crappy gear.
