What happens when two warriors with perfect blocking get at it? Will they ever hit each other or will one (probably the first one in game order) get the other in block lock and that's it? (excuse my lack of duelling knowledge, I'm very con-duel and pro-coop, but I thought this would be good to know to defend oneself against the plethora of PKs)Two words: Sparking Mail :)
No matter if pots are allowed or not, if you can safely and securely dent your opponent's health while keeping him in blocklock, you can win.
My S/S Rogue used to surprise a few people with that trick.
If you are a Rogue yourself, grab a Lightning sword of haste and Scavenger's Carapace. With that -15 damage your opponent won't be able to pull that trick on you ;)
When both parts know each other's tactics well enough (as it happened with me and the two friends I used to duel with all the time) it's kind of funny to see all of the people involved cycling through their inventory items every 2-3 swings :lol:
Generally due to Diablo's lousy MP architecture, you cannot blocklock your opponent permanently and not allow hit to swing, as the two clients will argue about who's in blocklock or not. Yo will not hit each other though, unless someone moves. Stunlock does coordinate better though.
