Sure guy....if you're standing still that weapon block works on spells about 50% of the time. Weapon block works zero percent of the time when you're moving though. Quit RMT'ing your gear and try out pvm sometime. You may learn that tgods can prevent a shitty death to souls. Also, finding two truly GG claws isn't common and may not even happen within a ladder. Weapon block is more commonly used early on before hoto/ss combo is found. Softcore Sally's mindset at it's best though. Try out a HC ladder and see how often your trapper ends up with 2 GG claws that actually out perform hoto/ss survivability and damage. 🤷‍♂️

"This skill allows Assassins wielding two Claw-class weapons to use her blades to deflect incoming attacks, thus giving herself a defensive edge without using a shield. The benefits diminish severely after a few points.

Weapon Block only works while standing still or attacking. Weapon Block does not work while walking or running."


you know shield block works the same right?

Why are you running.

You have teleport?


The claws don’t have to be GG. On a budget you can literally get a random GT with 3 sockets and 3ls. Throw in 3x shael and boom you have max trap speed on a super budget. Then your other claw can be plague. Last I checked, Cham is cheap AF.

Typical hc person having no idea wtf they are talking about and always saying “turtle up for no reason to do less damage so that an easy game is easier”

Lmfao 🤣 wut?

"Ceiling of 75% Chance to Block applies when stationary (whether idle, attacking or casting), walking or using Whirlwind. Chance to Block is reduced to 1/3 while running, after this ceiling is applied (so maximum 25% Chance to Block while running). [5]"

Maybe your info is from a bad source like maxroll or some other trash site?

Check Amazon Basin. 🤷‍♂️

Sure thing fella....play some trash dual claw instead of hoto/ss if you want...just pretend like it's actually better and keep on telling yourself that. 🤣

It is better.

You get 56% block with 1 skill point. Thus making it so you don’t dump points into Dex, and nerfing your life.

You keep on showing how little you know about this game. It’s pretty sad.

Not to mention you have more damage.

Not to mention claw block blocks virtually all attacks, as opposed to shield block that only blocks physical attacks.

Shield block works ALL of the time... weapon block works ONLY while standing still/attacking...

How is that the same exactly? 🤷‍♂️

Not to mention when you hoto/shields you aren’t using fade. Thus you aren’t getting the curse reduction duration. And since you use plague with dual claw, you get further curse reduction from cleansing.


So wiru 2x claws you get the following:
More damage
More life
More survivability through weapon block blocking virtually all attacks
Virtually immunity to curses


I’m not sure why you think c/c is worse


Smh.

Claw block is awesome, but it's not better.than max block and damage reduction, especially with trash claws. Keep on keeping on though Sally.

They both diminish when you move. Is that not the same?
