Mattp169, thanks for your reply. I knew about the "missing" of course . *Sigh* I do so like things to be "if X then Y unless Z...."
Presuming a Block is shown on screen (like the misses are) I believe your answer guides me towards keeping a good Infalability or two in reserve. HR and Quests are repeatable when you lose... To be honest though, Shayd has "felt" less effective since I took Infalability off but I can't point to anything tangible on that..

I am very anxious to hear what you notice about Blood's skill being blocked. Thanks for checking it out.
