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 15 minutes will be counted.
Based on that counter, a “charge level” on the shield will be implied:
| Min total damage within the last 15 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.
Your progress is bound to your character, not to a 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
