Spell Block

Spell Block is a generic Talent, where the Hero gains Spell Armor against a finite number of Spell damage instances, instead of set duration, Like Spell Shield does. It works similarly to its Physical Armor granting counterpart - Block.

Skilled use of Abilities utilizing Spell Block can neutralise lot of damage from enemy Abilities with high burst damage in single of few instances. Due to their charge nature, however, they are weak against small and periodic damage, as even smallest damage instances can continuously consume a block charge, making it difficult to gain value from negating more dangerous Abilities.
