Break / Mage

how would break work for maria as she is support class anyone know ?

:(:confused:I do not know who you are

it give power~! its working someway. I even think that Critical rune works with maria. as long it gives power, its working with them. I just don't know how does it affect her.

I have never seen them block just a rune question.

Yes they can block.

Mages are just incredibly bad at it though.

So, a good defense rune is better than a block, on a mage?

It depends, in my opinion. I haven't been able to nail it down, not even close, but the block rating reduces damage by a percentage. The higher the block rating the more damage reduction. I have seen reductions anywhere from as little as 5% to as much as 45%. I cannot figure out exactly what changes this rate. However, it doesn't appear to be the attackers Break rating, but in truth I just can't figure it out. I have, though, seen damage reductions as high as 15,000 HP and equal increases in damage when the rune is removed. High block reduces damage on skill and physical attacks, but nothing on magic damage. So, if the attacker is doing high damage, the block rune (wall or resistance) will usually provide more damage reduction than a Flintiness or Burliness giving 3 or 4,000 reduction. Mages also benefit from damage reduction with an increased block rating. They rarely, and for all intents and purposes, don't ever "block" in the classic sense where you see the "block" letters and get a counterattack. It happens (although I've never seen it with my mages, I have seen monster mages block and counter attack in the laby) I'd say for all around a lvl 9 or 10 Resistance is better than an equal size Burliness or Flintiness, but certain situations might make that not true. Like all things Tynon it is unclear and depends on the situation.

First this is a necro, second you need to read through the thread and check out the videos to find out that you're wrong.

believe what you want, I've tested it myself. If you don't think it's true, it really doesn't matter to me. Block absolutely reduces damage and break absolutely increases damage. Believe what makes you happy...I know I will.



and furthermore....you agree with me, don't you?

"My test shows that block does not mitigate magic damage," your words. Not sure where I'm wrong in the part you highlighted or even different from you.

Block reduces damage from Thousand Strikes, Horns of Hell, and Flamewall. That is all. Nothing else.. no effect on Piercing Thrust... Frontal Assault... Sweeping Slash... Heart of Darkness, Ascension, etc... Thousand Strikes, Horns of Hell, and Flamewall are the ONLY skills affected by block. Don't believe me? Go test it.
