Axe Block

Axe Block is an active skill that is automatically learned by Berserkers upon character creation. It cannot be ranked up.

Axe Block can be performed with an axe by the Berserker to block incoming damage from front. This is very similar to the Lancer's skill, but it doesn't block as much damage. Unlike Lancer Berserker's block doesn't used Resolve and can hold infinitely.

With this skill, and level 65 skill Intimidation proficient Berserker can also become a tank, although tanking with Berserker is not recommended due to lack of party buffs.

Aside from blocking, this skill can also be used to cancel charging skills. This is especially useful for PvP. It is important to know when to commit, and when to pull out. When it is clear that the skill is not going to hit your opponent, continuing with it will only leave you vulnerable to their counterattack and drain you HP while charging.

As the description says, the amount of damage blocked is dependent on gear.
