parry skill?

[Phishfood]

Is there a parry skill in this game, something with a short activation window you use just before you take a melee or ranged hit?

Just found it, Magma Barrier. Takes some getting used to, you gotta hold block early and take a hit when the shield glows, it's a very generous window.

On getting the parry you can parry again for those multi-hit attacks. Miss your parry and you gotta wait a second before you can do it again. This is making a lot of enemies much easier to deal with. I can just stand in front of some bosses and parry until they die.

I dont think you can block/parry forever, there is a bar that fills up, if you take too many.

You can active Block with "Raise Shield" BUT with Raise Shield you lose all Evade Chance in this time and Hits fill your little bar next to the HP Globe.

I think you need alot of Stun Threshold or you Shieldblock will Break in a few seconds.

Your passive Block Chance isnt interfering with Evade.

I think Shields are very weak compared to the Damage loss of 2h vs 1h Weapons. As caster tolerable and some Unique Shields are very good but in general weak.
When armor is fixed it can be very good because some strong armor nodes.

Shield do have a very good armor break skill.
