*Only applies when stationary (whether idle, attacking or casting) or using [[Whirlwind]]. [[Block]]ing animation and sound do not always play when applied, particularly when applied in quick succession.
*Does not apply while Assassin is a [[Werebear]]. [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/121851-what-works-in-were-form/&do=findComment&comment=1512653]
*Applies to [[missile]]s, [[melee]] and ranged attacks. Does not apply to the following sources of damage: [https://www.diabloii.net/forums/threads/assassin-stickies-input-thread.792158/post-7823778]
**[[Charge|Charging]] [[Claw Viper]]s and [[Reanimated Horde]]
**[[Attacker Takes Damage]] and [[Attacker Takes Lightning Damage]]
**Returned damage from [[Thorns]], [[Iron Maiden]], [[Iron Golem]] and [[Spirit of Barbs]]
**[[Psychic Hammer]]
**[[Mind Blast]]
**[[Corpse Explosion]], [[Death Sentry]] corpse explosion and [[Nihlathak (boss)|{{Ub|=Nihlathak}}]] corpse explosion
**Radial damage from [[Holy Fire]], [[Holy Freeze]] and [[Holy Shock]]
**[[Static Field]] [http://www.baronsbazaar.ca/forums/index.php?showtopic=5330&p=87916]
**[[Telekinesis]] [https://www.diabloii.net/forums/threads/assassin-stickies-input-thread.792158/post-7830165]
**[[Shiver Armor]] [[Cold Damage|cold damage]]
*[[Fire Damage|Fire damage]] per second ''is'' blocked, but since fire damage is actually applied every frame (25 times per second), often by multiple missiles, damage is reduced rather than prevented entirely. [https://www.diabloii.net/forums/threads/assassin-stickies-input-thread.792158/post-7830774]
*May also appear to be ineffective against skills releasing multiple missiles, especially those applying [[Poison Damage|poison damage]]: individual clouds released by [[Poison Explosion]] or [[Plague Javelin]] may be blocked but it is extremely unlikely that ''all'' will be blocked, and it only takes a single collision to apply poison damage for its full length.
*Not applied consistently to [[Smite]] when used by a [[Paladin (Diablo II)|Paladin]], although monsters using Smite do not always hit and can be blocked. [https://www.diabloii.net/forums/threads/assassin-stickies-input-thread.792158/post-7824365]
*Neither [[Dexterity]] nor % [[Block#Increased Chance of Blocking|Increased Chance of Blocking]] from items will increase chance of blocking.
*[[Block rate]] is the same as when equipping a shield, and [[Faster Block Rate]] applies. However, equipping [[Guardian Angel|{{Ub|=Guardian Angel Templar Coat}}]] (30 FBR) only reduces block rate from 5 frames to 4.
