Shield block is the art of using a shield to ward off blows in melee. This skill is primarily effective against daggers, and least effective against whips, flails, maces, and axes. Shield block is the favoured defense of of water and Void templars and most fighters, though other schools teach the skill as well.
It's much harder to shield block after an arm has been boneshattered.
