1-# Block
2-**Blocking** is a means of [preventing damage](Receiving_damage) from enemy attacks by using a shield, staff or dual wielded weapons.
1+# Resistance penetration
2+**Resistance penetration** is a property of [[hit]]s that reduces the target's effective [[resistance]] to specific [[damage]] types.
33
44 ## Mechanics
5-Blocking a hit prevents all damage and harmful on hit effects such as status ailments. The attack must be a hit in order to be blocked, therefore block does not work against damage over time.
5+When a target is struck by a hit with resistance penetration, that target's effective resistance is reduced for determining the amount of [[damage]] dealt by the hit. Resistance penetration does not modify the target's resistance or maximum resistance [[stat]]s.

7-Chance to block
8-The chance to block is a random roll made per attack/cast; it is not entropy-based like evasion[citation needed]. Block has the following base stats

12-+75% to maximum Chance to Block Spell Damage
13-The base chance to block attacks is determined by which type of shield or staff is used. The maximum block chance cap applies to both attacks and spells. However, certain skill gems, unique items and Ascendancy class skills can raise or lower the maximum block chance.

17-Tempest Shield
18-. Attack block and spell block chance are often granted separately with attack block being more common.
13+Just like resistance stats, effective resistance can be a negative number. There is no minimum limit on effective resistance imposed by the game mechanics.
1914
20-Chance to block against projectiles
21-Any modifier that has X% additional Block Chance against Projectiles will apply to projectile attacks and can be made to also apply to projectile spells with the appropriate X% of Block Chance applied to Spells statistics.
15+Due to the fact that resistance penetration is a property of hits, it cannot apply to damage over time.

23-Hit effects
24-The general rule is that blocking prevents the attacker's on hit effects from stats, excluding things skills actively do when they hit. But blocking will not prevent the defender's when hit effects, because preventing those could make blocking a negative thing for the defender.

26-Certain stats, such as "Gain 1 Endurance Charge every second if you've been hit recently", were originally classified under enemy's hit effects and thus were prevented by blocked hits.[2] This interaction was fixed in patch 3.11.1c.
20+### Efficacy of resistance penetration versus resistances

22+It can be shown that resistance penetration is more effective in terms of damage dealt against targets with higher resistances.

40-Reflected damage can be blocked;[4] however blocking reflected damage will not trigger on-block effects.

42-Block duration
43-When an attack is blocked, the game has already calculated how much damage and if the attack would have caused a stun. If it would have caused a stun, the blocking animation is played, stunning you briefly.[5] If it would not have caused a stun, then you get a "free" block with no animation.
44-
45-Faster Block and Stun Recovery and Increased Block Recovery modifiers reduce the length of the blocking animation.
46-
47-The following formula is the complete calculation for the duration of the blocking animation (in milliseconds). If you cannot be stunned, the block animation will never play.

51-Status ailments have no affect on your block chance, but being frozen will prevent the block animation from playing if it otherwise would and chilled will make it take longer to play (since those two work by decreasing the speed at which your character plays animations).
