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)
