Talk:Blocking and Perfect Blocks/@comment-26942762-20150831213125

I read the part that said, " The ability to perfect block is also affected by the knockdown/stagger resistances of one's equipped Shield or Magick Shield; this is particularly true of a  Wooden Wall ,  Rusted Magick Shield  or  Magick Buckler ."

So does this means that there is a threshold for attacks that certain shields won't be able to (even) perfect block, or does it refer to maybe the frames required for a perfect block (so more frames for stronger shields).

I guess what I'm asking is that if a Rusted Shield will be able to perfect block as much as a Dread Aspis, or if there are tiers for what certain shields can perfect block (like 'Goblin mace' tier, 'Dragonkin backhand' tier etc).

Sorry if it doesn't make much sense.
