Talk:Shield Skill

From FFXI Wiki

Wrote this today at work.

I wanted to have a separate entry for Shield Skill similar to those for Parry, Evasion Skill, etc and to differentiate it from Category: Shields or a page about the armor items themselves.

Please edit/modify as you see fit and add any +Shield Skill items you can think of that I've missed. --Elesirdur 15:28, 24 September 2007 (CDT)

In addition to skill, Agility is the determining statistic for shield blocking. Increasing a player's agility can help to increase the block rate. <--- I moved this here because it sounds like bullshit from circa 2005 and comes to us unsourced. If anyone finds evidence that supports it, by all means share it. --Byrthnoth 15:43, 15 September 2011 (EDT)

"The hard cap on shield block rate is 65%. Ochain has a large block rate bonus and is not susceptible to this cap (block rate can reach 100% with sufficient shield skill)." <-- Removed since it is unsourced and contradictory with itself. -- FaeQueenCory (talk) 14:36, 31 May 2019 (EDT)
