Toughness skill

[Ken_Adoruk]

FIRST OF ALL, IT NEVER BLOCKS!!!

At what timing do you use it?
I have around 25% block rate once I use toughness (4% shield, 6%bonus, 15% from toughness), but it DOES NOT block for about every 1 after 4 hits, but more like 1 after 50 hits like normally @_@...
If you gather lots of mobs, you get a lot of hits... so there should be like "block" like every 1 or 2 sec right? if it really is 25% block rate...... but NO.

And while I'm hitting a mob and use this skill, it stops attacking once toughness is generated. While in comparison, demoralizing hit, if I have already selected an enemy it automatically gets back at normal hitting the enemy. Its a same self casted skill too =/. So why can't it automatically get back to hitting a mob after casting toughness?

How is this block rate calculated? Maybe that is my biggest question.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure that the skill is bugged right now. So no wonder you don't notice a difference.

And not all skills have the built in auto-attack with them. Notice that vitality is another one that doesn't. Its kinda annoying, but theres nothing you can do about it.

Well i don't know for sure if it is bugged but even if it was a 25% block rate, it doesn't gurantee to block 1/4 hits

It can be like this for example: block, hit, hit, hit, hit, block, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, block
*notice its still 1/4 hits but it has no specific pattern

as for the lack of auto-attack on vitality and toughness, thats y i always us tab and an attack skill afterwords :D

I can't remember the skill description exactly, but maybe it's been poorly translated and infact raises your original block percentage by 15%. So in this case it raises your 10% block rating to 11.5%. That makes sense too.

No, it is broken, always has been broken, and probably always will be.

It is not the result of a mistranslation either, because the Cleric's Stone Skin skill increases their block rate by 1% - 1.6% for a full hour. So, why would fighters have a useless skill like this when clerics have an awesome buff?

I have done lots of testing, and I retest every time there is a new patch. Toughness does not increase your block rate at all. Not even by 10% of your base value, nor does it decrease the amount of damage you receive in any other manner.
