Arrow Fend vs. Blade Wind

[Aethyr]

I think I've seen this addressed before, but I can't find the thread. Does Arrow Fend offer protection against Blade Wind?

[ano]

Air Shield protects from all ranged attacks including spells that are not AoE or 100-precision. There may be some exclusions (can't recall any atm) but generally it is correct statement. So yes, Arrow Fend does protect from Blade Wind. And regular shields also do.

I think air shield works if the spell does not have the always hit tag.

So it would not work against lightning bolt or charm but should work against blade wind.

[ano]

Charm is precision 100 and such spells are not deflected from what I know. But yes, the lightning-based spells are definitely the exceptions. Anything else?

[Folket]

Is there not a spell DB somewhere and we can see what spells are always hit?

[Baalz]

Lightning always hits. Generally theres a pretty high correlation to 'common sense' in this regard of stuff a shield would help you block.

Thanks guys.
