Some Random Questions - Guild Wars Forums

1) How, exactly, does blocking work? (like, can you block without a shield, like with a wand? Can daggers block? Can scythes block?)

2) What is the best Dervish Form for a D/A in PvP? (lyssa?)

hope this helps,

1. Shields or weapons don't actually block attacks. Skills will block attacks, and sometimes the skill requires a shield or weapon.

2. Not sure if there is a best form because each has its uses. Lyssa can be good with a D/A build when wielding daggers though. The attack bonus triggers more often with daggers than any other weapon if you take double strikes in to account.
