Blocking Speed Dependent on Weight

Blocking with 90 speed bardiche is much more clumsier then with faster weapon..
But some see world from periscope of their 100+ spamblade

I was under the impression every single manual block was instantaneous, aka the same speed as 100+ speed shields.

It is the same reason that people think that wpf effects their blocking also. It is because of the time it takes for them to complete your attacks that screws up your blocking.

something about weapon speed http://mountandblade.wikia.com/wiki/Weapons

The .5 seconds is too much of a delay, but like shields, manually blocking with melee weapons should haev a speed rating.  Only the lightest weapons should be able to block instantaneously (like 100 shield speed or above).  There should be a speed difference in getting your block up if you have a great maul, versus a longsword.

This.

As oprah approved (I like when some people don't get the joke), attack speed already matters in "block speed" (mindfvck). It's not always enough, but I would be extremely careful with that setting, as it can ruin combat entirely.
