    1. Infalability/Break is there as mitigation against enemies blocks and/or counter attacks. Higher break = less blocks and/or counter attacks. Right?

    2. Skill attacks cannot be blocked or counterattacked (they can be dodged). Right?

    3. If 1 and 2 are true, and Bloodstorm has 100 or more morale, he has no need of the Infalability rune because he is on continuous Skill Attacks. Ok, so is this right?

    Further,
    Someone I respect told me Mages are "almost never" blocked or counter-attacked. I took Infalability off my Shayd to see if I can catch a block or counter-attack happening (this has only been two days of constant playing) but still have not seen it happen... ok so question:

    4. Is it true that mages are not blocked or counter-attacked (much)?

    5. If that is the case, isn't Infalability wasted on Shayd like so many other runes? (morale, crit).

    Thanks in advance!

    As far as Bloodstorm and Break are concerned, I had the same question once. I have done many tests with Blood for other reasons (Vengence vs Adept Alone) and I have found that Keeping a high level Infalability rune on him is pretty much essential. I saw that his overal performance is better with break, than without.
    As far as the mechanics are concerned, I'm not exactly sure why, but common sense dictates that if your break numbers are higher than your opponents block ability, than you get a bigger and better hit. I have never seen Bloodstorms skill shot blocked, though I have seen it dodged. Like I said, during my tests with Blood, I noticed this, but I wasn't testing break at the time, so I didn't study this in depth. It's just what my observation was.


    1. Infalability/Break is for physical attacks only. It lessens the chance of enemies blocking physical attacks.

    2. Skill attacks cannot be blocked or counterattacked.

    3. Bloodstorm doesn't need Infallibility unless he loses his morale and needs to build it back up by using physical attacks.

    4. Magic attacks cannot be blocked or counter-attacked.

    5. Infallibility is a waste on Shayd.

    Furthermore:

    - Only NPC heroes/boss mages can block. Player hero mages can never block attacks.

    All these are of my own opinions and observations. Please feel free to debunk any of my claims but please present proof.
    It's more in depth than you think. Numbers don't lie. When tested with and without a break rune, Blood's performance was much better WITH a break rune than without one. Again, I don't know exactly why, but that is what the results were.
    I'd like to see someone take the time to run a test with a guildmate and note their findings.
