Assasin's Rush + Physical Shield >>>> block

no block for me
 
Re: Does anyone actually use block?

Ditto Joey.nsz.
I've done a character with-
Physique maxxed
Speed maxxed
Assassin's Rush maxxed
Physical Shield maxxed
All you'll ever need; period.
Plus on a side note my character is 20 years old WITHOUT cheating, (as such)
just a hell of alot of reloads in the chapel and temple. :)
I haven't been to the torture chamber yet though, so chuck on a few more years for good measure. ;P

Try and play a "pure warrior" type of character*, and you'll learn to appreciate block! Also makes the game much more fun and challanging.

*just Physical traits... and perhaps Berserk thrown in for the awesomeness factor.

I have played full warrior but never used block on him, I was hooked up with Health potions.
 
Re: Does anyone actually use block?

i think being a witchhunter or a battle mage is the most fun in the game just because you are not restrained to one attribute.
 
Re: Does anyone actually use block?

I think Force Push can be a good replacement for block. It can knock enemies faaaar away and mana costs is low. You can`t block ranged shots anyway so, for bow users, Force Push is a fantastic spell.
 
Re: Does anyone actually use block?

The problem with Force Push is that it has Friendly Fire :(

Although FF owns when doing The Arena [funny to knock Whisper around]
 
Re: Does anyone actually use block?

I can see how it would make t he game more interesting to use block, it's just an extra button for me though, why switch to block when you can just keep hitting them and get knocked down maybe once before killing them...

Or like other people said just use a spell..
 
Re: Does anyone actually use block?

One thing I hate about block is that it`s useless against ranged attacks. So, if you are busy blocking incoming bandits, some guys take out their crossbows and kill you anyway.
 
Re: Does anyone actually use block?

i never use block
but once in a while ill use defensive spells like physical shild.
 
Re: Does anyone actually use block?

That's like the greatest question EVER!!!

on almost every game like that i NEVER use block, and I always win


BUT!!!!!

if it's like the MAIN boss or somethin like that, then yeah!
 
Re: Does anyone actually use block?

i never use block. instead i use spells like physical shield and enflame. enflame kicks *** at level 4 and doesnt do friendly fire. the problem is since block is on the y button on xbox its very troblesome to switch between blocking and attacking. if block was on a trigger though, or if you just held attack button down, it would be a different story. luckily they changed it in fable 2 so now you just hold attack down.
 
Re: Does anyone actually use block?

you always have long posts dude!
lol

just pointin things out
 
Re: Does anyone actually use block?

I do use it occasionally but only when i remember that its there lol.
 
Re: Does anyone actually use block?

I use it in almost every battle because I do not use spells. Each type of creature and subset of that type of creature has a certain attack style, so it is easier to know when to block once you learn the attack styles. Some blows can not be blocked, then I try to roll, often end up on my face though.
