So everyone is on the same page

To block you must have your melee weapon equiped, a Sword/shield weapon in this case,and have to be looking at the attacking enemy and your frame will automatically snap to face that direction and block a percentage of that attack's damage

You can only block within a 45 degree angled 'cone' of the center where you are looking with your camera, 90 degrees with reflect guard equipped

To "Parry" simply means to block while the channeling is on.

If you are channeling with melee equipped and you're shot while looking at the shooter within the block angle cone, you will completely negate the damage do to you and return some of that shot's damage back at them, and much more damage with this mod.

And if that attack was a melee strike while you're channel auto-blocking, you will both negate damage done to you, return some to them and have a chance to cause the enemy to be opened for a finisher

As in you dont have to time it anymore for enemies to be stunned, auto-blocking melee parries are chance based, I believe its about 50/50 although with the parry mod will greatly boost that chance
