Skill Mastery: Parrying
Base Perks
Unbreakability
When a shield is being worn, there is a chance that potential damage to the shield and armor will not be taken into account.
- Chance: 7.5% per level
Physical Retaliation
Melee damage taken within the last 30 minutes will be counted.
Based on that counter, a “charge level” on the shield will be implied:
| Min total damage within the last 30 minutes | Level |
|---|---|
| 0 | 1 |
| 100 | 2 |
| 250 | 3 |
| 500 | 4 |
| 1,000 | 5 |
| 2,000 | 6 |
| 4,000 | 7 |
| 8,000 | 8 |
| 12,000 | 9 |
| 20,000 | 10 |
The current total damage as well as the charge level will be shown in the shield's tooltips.
Like in Magical Retaliation with Grimoires, The progress is bound to the specific shield.
The Retaliation perk increases melee damage based on that charge level.
Damage Bonus: 12.5% * level * (charge level / 10)
Shield Casting
80.0 Parrying allows your character to cast spells without dropping the shield.
Template Bonus
