Lol, maybe you need the reading glasses cause the whole point of my post was to explain those misconceptions.
go find your reading glasses because i have provided screenshots and proven those numerous times (especially break and block)
took me a few minutes to find a screenshot to prove that you are wrong:

you are welcome to chime in after reading the ENTIRE thread and give your 2 cents if you still think you are right.
EDIT: dont forget your reading glasses :P
Kasim you do realise that link you posted doesnt prove your point. An actual block reduces damage in half. Like grunt was saying the block rune mitigates the break damage from all attacks. This is what accounts for the 10k less damage in that shot. When a hero does an actual block it reduces the total damage taken by half. So in order to prove that a mage can actually block a physical attack you have to show the mage taking half damage from an attack. I would also love for someone to show proof of a hero that is not stunned blocking a physical attack and not doing a counter attack as that was another misconception stated in this thread.
Oh and that shot was of a skill attack in the first place which can not be blocked.
ok first of all, skill attacks CAN be blocked (you can even block the banish bosses ;p). if you would read it carefully again, its to show that mages get a DAMAGE REDUCTION from the block rune because even tho they CAN block, they are just really bad at it and can not counter attack. therefore they integrated passive damage reduction for mages and that is exactly what it proves.
edit: the 10k difference is the average taken from 100 attacks (50 attacks with and 50 without)
Lol bla bla bla show a screen shot of a mage blocking(not a display glitch but an actualy block that reduces more than the passive block reduction block gives) and show me a screen shot of a skill attack being blocked. as neither of these 2 things have ever happened in this game or been proved to happen.
pathetic, "blah blah blah" is all your brain computes then i guess.
just read the discussions in the forum at the appropriate sections and you will have it verified. who knows, maybe you learn something if you get past the "blah blah blah". however, someone like you probably believes the earth is flat lol
maybe if you would stop posting deconstructive nonsense in the wrong sections and accept the fact that your in-game knowledge is rather newbie or average at most.
ps: screenshots where provided, also check out the discussions about maria.
no one said his skill attack can be blocked or not (what i did say was that his attack CAN be blocked), i have not seen his skill attack being blocked yet but since its an NPC AOE skill attack, it should not be able to be blocked.
that being said, you emily then agree with steve that
- mages can not block
- single skill attacks from blood, kahn, pomp, etc can not be blocked
- passive damage reduction cuts half the damage
- and that block runes have no effect for mages
PLEASE tell us that you really believe that and that i said its all nonsense and "blah blah blah"!!!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
