'''Increased Blocking Speed''', more commonly called "'''fast block'''" or '''IBS''', helps characters [[block]] more frequently. ==Description==A character goes into block animation if its opponent succeeds in the hit check and the character succeeds in a blocking check. The character can do nothing else during the blocking animation. Blocking is only possible while engaged in melee combat, or while walking. (Not while running.) See the [[block|blocking article]] for more details. Improvements to faster blocking are difficult to achieve since the bonuses to it are found almost exclusively on shields. * In some cases the equipped weapon influences the blocking speed.* The Assassin's [[Assassin Shadow Disciplines#redirect Weapon Block| Weapon Block]] skill is also affected by her Faster Block Rate, and the same values as for shield blocking apply.* Act 3 mercenaries do not block even though they are capable of using a shield.* In classic D2, this modifier was found only on [[Culwen's Point]], and it had no effect. ==Class Block Table=={| width="100%"!rowspan="2" |[[Class]]!rowspan="2" | <span style="font-size: 80%;">Weapon / Skill / Form</span>!colspan="17" |Block Frames|-! 17 || 16 || 15 || 14 || 13 || 12 || 11 || 10 || 9 || 8 || 7 || 6 || 5 || 4 || 3 || 2 || 1|-|rowspan="2" |[[Amazon]]| 1H swinging weapon<span style="color:yellow"> (*) </span> ||0||4||6||11||15||23||29||40||56||80||120||200||480|| || || || |-|Other weapons || || || || || || || || || || || || ||0||13||32||86||600|-|[[Assassin]]|all || || || || || || || || || || || || ||0||13||32||86||600|-|[[Barbarian]]|all || || || || || || || || || || ||0||9||20||42||86||280|| |-|rowspan="3" |[[Druid]]|Human form || || || || || || ||0||6||13||20||32||52||86||174||600|| || |-|Bear form || || || || || ||0||5||10||16||27||40||65||109||223|| || || |-|Wolf form || || || || || || || || ||0||7||15||27||48||86||200|| || |-|[[Necromancer]]|all || || || || || || ||0||6||13||20||32||52||86||174||600|| || |-|rowspan="2" |[[Paladin]]|normal || || || || || || || || || || || || ||0||13||32||86||600|-|with [[Holy Shield]] || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||0||86|-|[[Sorceress]]|all || || || || || || || || ||0||7||15||27||48||86||200|| || |-!rowspan="2" |[[Class]]!rowspan="2" | <span style="font-size: 80%;">Weapon / Skill / Form</span>! 17 || 16 || 15 || 14 || 13 || 12 || 11 || 10 || 9 || 8 || 7 || 6 || 5 || 4 || 3 || 2 || 1|-!colspan="17" |Block Frames|-|}<small><span style="color:yellow"> (*) </span>1-handed swinging weapons include 1-handed axes, clubs, 1-handed maces, orbs, scepters, 1-handed swords, 2-handed swords wielded in one hand, throwing axes, and wands.</small> [IBS[category:calculations]][[category:special Modifiers]][[category:modifiers]][[category:glossary]]
