Talk:Blocking and Perfect Blocks/@comment-116.203.160.66-20141013071559/@comment-23878607-20141014000952

I thought of something else.

Another thing that's very valuable to an MK is wearing armor with very high knockdown/stagger resistances. This is a big limiter on Fashion Dogma, but if your Arisen is a smaller person, knockdown/stagger is a greater concern than if one's Arisen is a L or LL man because the smaller hitbox and agility comes with the downside of lesser k/s resistance. Getting those percentages to 100% makes perfect blocks easier to connect, particularly as I don't like using up augment slots on  Prescience  and/or  Adamance.

One of my favorite MK outfits consists of (all GDF) Red Dragon Scale, Hellfire Gauntlets, Hellfire Greaves, Hellfire Cloak, Silver Hosen and Patterned Gambeson. I prefer the coloration of Sinner's Gauntlets and Sinner's Greaves and using a Monomi Neck Wrap or a Nebula Cape, but the k/s stats aren't perfect.

I happen to HATE wearing helms, hence the necessity for the Hellfire pieces for perfect 100% Knockdown/Stagger resistance for my Arisen in one of my favorite outfits.
