Any magic attack that flies such as Flare or Stone Daggers.

I don't believe chain lighting counts as a projectile since there is no way to manually dodge it.

if you read the spell description some 'fly' towards the enemy/can miss
others 'strike' the opponent

being suggested that the former is effected the latter isnt

note wands/staves will also be effected like so, I took it more to suggest bows/staves/wands are effected but 'lob spells' should be to

This skill does not block

stone dagger, flare, lightning javalin, fireball, meteor, ice spear, shard storm, should I go on?

magical projectile as in, the things comming out of your wands and staves.

This is one of those skills that no one uses.

Too long recharge.
Too high energy cost.
Only 50% chance to block.

This belongs in the trash can and no place else.
Use shields up and never look back

hmmm.. from what i'm readying, you guys are only assuming this block arrows ONLY. But if you read it again it says magical projectiles which can almost never miss unless you side-step them.

It was 75%...I wonder why they changed it back to 50%...considering the long recharge time I only used that skill once - versus the dopple gangler with my ele (since he was Ele that was proficiend with bow).
