Attacks landing through blocks. | Forums

This happens all the time. I block in the proper direction and see my character put her axes up in order to block, but the attack lands anyway. I also notice that it happens to other people when I attack them. Honestly, it seems like it's exclusively a Zerker problem, as I haven't seen any of my attacks get through anyone else's correct guard change/block, but it's possible that it's happening to other characters.

i think it's about stats.
when someone with high block damage hits someone with very low block damage resistance there's a chance the attack goes straight through block ( i hear the block sound but it goes through anyways and i see blood spraying/dmg being done)

That's what i ended up thinking anyways. (didn't check if this happens in duel-mode without gear as i'm always in dominions.)

i could very well be wrong.

No. In this case, you would simply get higher chipping damage from heavy strikes.

The system simply does not work reliably. Same with the hit recovery. Light chains often connect, because the block is not ready yet.

Assassins have limited block, I have issues as well with my PK going against a Valk or another class with fast switching lights.

You either ran out of block before it hit, or you got hit twice from the same direction and had to reapply your block, even though the animation was still there.
