When an attack is blocked, there should be a blocking cooldown, maybe as long as the melee cooldown. about the cooldown, thats not needed. we have the % of blocking which is about the same. and you should be able to like get skilled with it. if you use it more you have a higher chance of blocking which can go up to lvl 10. and I dont know if it can be coded when you are hit on the sides or back. like, you have 1 hitbox per NPC/mob/player, not a specific one for every body part/side. but we'll see in 1.9/1.10, shields only block from the front.

yea shields, but not blocking with weapons
