Chamber block projectiles

[zagibu]

I think it would be cool if you could chamber-block projectiles. It should of course be extremely hard to pull off, but just imagine the awesomeness when you close in on a thrower with 10% health left, and he throws his axe right at your head, but you overhead slap it away, then cut him in half.

Also, chamber block projectiles with other projectiles.

I want this so badly.

[Dalfador]

I say yes for throwing, but no for archery, even a ninja warrior has a hard time with that xD

[Kafein]

Totally yes. Only with overheads.

It would of course be a lot harder to do with arrows, because they travel much faster.

ETA for this feature: december 2010.

No, people without shield should not be able to block projectiles.

If you have some athletics, it's already easy enough to just dodge and weave and spin like an autist and be immune to 90% of ranged players out there.

That was bamboo arrow, as you can see from the footage: these travel VERY slowly, bamboo arrows would not penetrate a person when fired by that puny girl, she is NOT even holding the bowstring, she is holding the arrow between thumb and index, meaning there is NO power there. That arrow was NOT hard to hit, I'm sorry to say, good cinematic effect but not so difficult. There is noone alive who could react intime to slice a well weighted arrow fired from a decent weight bow (60 pounds and up) from the air at the range portrayed in that video.

No one alive that you've met you mean.

Anyhow I am all for the idea.

Already in game. I've already chamber blocked an arrow with my bow. It is pure luck as the window is so small, but it is there.
