My Tankazon is using a tower shield that has a 75% chance of blocking.
That, topped with 7 points invested in the 'Dodge' skill, makes her nearly impossible to hit in melee combat. (I killed Izual, and I swear to God almighty he hit me only 3 times. I didn't even have to drink a potion)
The problem - and I don't know if this is a bug that was fixed in later versions or not- is that the excessive blocking causes her to 'freeze'. It's as if blocking blows with your shield requires time to recover (like when you're actually hit). She wears chain gloves of fastest hir recovery, but even those aren't helping much. It's a pain in the ass, actually, this freeze, so much so that I sometimes consider dropping my tower shield and using a buckler with 25% block instead...
Is this a bug or what????
