Harden Defense

I've got a question about the new skill harden defense. Is it one of those spells similar to a battlemage's where it gets better with proficiency or is it useless to train past 75%?

All spells are better trained to 100%.

Even if it is to stop losing your concentration all the time.

Scew training a spell with such a high mana cost and a low mana class. Well this one doesn't get higher in proficiency while defending so I'm guessing theirs no point. But now I don't even remember if the battlemages defenses rise in proficiency while defending or not.

It does help to have it higher.

There is currently a bug where it does not improve on shield block. This bug will be fixed as soon as I get to a client to change it.

You're welcome.

They don't. Blades does though.

Terra shield does as well.

Terra shield does as well.

Not that I ever noticed.

I haven't played many battlemages though.

Terra shield improves DRAMATICALLY.

Oh, well thanks for the input. But not for another spell to master, grr jk.

ie. Harden defense will increase in proficiency when you perform a successful shield block, no need to spam!

As does blur.

Yeah I just found that out. Guess it took longer than I thought for that first rise in proficiency.

Well all the bmgs I did play I mastered all my defense spells before I really used them.

I just think we have way to many senior members. Yes, im a hater.

What does the spell actually do, again? The helpfile is a little vague. Maybe I was just drunk when I read it.

I'd say you were too drunk. It makes sense to me, but I'm not sure if I can share what it does.

As long as you use the spell and a shield, you will have an easier time blocking attacks made with staffs. After all, staff is the only weapon type dark-knights doesn't know.

Think about it this way.

You're a haughty, self-righteous bastard of a DK. Some dumb ogre can beat you up with a stick, since you don't know how to use it. What is your solution?

If you said "learn how to use a stick", you're wrong.

The solution is OBVIOUSLY complex magical incantations.

So Dark Knights are my girlfriend's mother, only instead of complex magical spells, she has complex lies and paranoia... hm. Now I know her class, I'll just have to figure out how best to fight a DK with a level 10 Malform of the Guile religion.

Duh: study, meditate, and assassinate.
