Talk:Shield Skill

Well, I certainly like being credited for my work, but evidence, testing, and credit should go here on the discussion page. Let's stick to facts about the subject matter on the main page.

Here's a link to my counter/shield testing. http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/102584-Random-Question-Thread-XIX-Welcome-to-Flavor-Country?p=4517795&viewfull=1#post4517795

About WS additional effect blocking.

You actually picked two of the very few effects that I'm not certain you can block. I haven't been back to bukhis to test since getting Ochain, but I can think of two other instances where dispel effects went through blocks. Hydra's Trembling would dispel one effect every time, and I'm fairly certain that its a physical attack. Although wiki says it normal takes 2~3 buffs, so perhaps I'm blocking part of it. Also Ironclad's Turbine cyclone caused multiple effect dispel, but in that case I'm not totally certain its a physical ws.

As for Sobek's Tyrant Tusk, I also need to retest it. The issue being, that every time it killed me(only happened twice) there was no dmg taken displayed. If the death effect proc'ing changes the WS from a melee attack with an add effect, to just an effect ws(like roar's para) then I wouldn't be able to block it.

Well, I'll leave things as they are till I can confirm/deny the matter on those ws.
