Active Block and Consistancy
|
I've been noticing there is attacks that do not give the red indication that it's unblockable but still go through block, there is no good explanation for this either.
An example is in Act 3 the Brutal Transcended mob has an electric projectile from the arm and it penetrates block when nothing else in the game indicates that it should and I'm fairly certain this is not the only case for this. I think AoEs are not blockable but this is not an AoE, unless it is an AoE projectile but that again falls under consistancy and predictability. Last bumped on Jan 28, 2025, 5:02:35 PM

" seems about on par for this game. Remove the functioning mechanic and add a broken one, when players figure out how to semi-use the broken code mechanic, lets just nerf it and say we fixed it. |

As a Magma Barrier Titan the inconsistency is tough to swallow. See my post reply here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3697540/page/1#p25915046

Active Block is generally messy. In many cases, you end up taking more damage, like for example if you take turtle charm (doesn't work when you're actively blocking) or acrobatics (your evasion turns to 0 when actively blocking for some stupid reason).

Active block must deflect all projectiles to attackers.
Otherwise it is completely useless |

" I wouldn't go as far as saying it's completely useless... if you think about it, Magma Barrier is basically a "reflect attacks back to the attacker" skill. And I love it. |

Active block doesn't work on AoE damage in general. This single-handedly makes it the worst designed block/shield system I've used in any game.
