For a long while now, defensive skills have been eating each others' lunch, so to speak. Higher rates of Riposte means you'll see less Parries, then good Parry skill means you see fewer Dodges, and all of them makes for verrrrry few opportunities to Shield Block at the end of the chain. Whichever one fires first supersedes the rest, gets struckthrough, we take damage. If someone gears for astronomical hAgi at the expense of all their hDex, they'll have more Dodges get struckthrough, but only because their fewer Ripostes & Parries aren't getting struckthrough before Dodge gets its chance.
Isnt strikethrough a per-skill thing though? So if it strikes through the first skill, the others can still work? Or does a single strike through negate the chain?
