==Applications==
 
*It is situational and up to the user to decide whether they feel a 50% chance to block entire physical attacks (and being able to use [[Two Hand Quicken]]) is better than wearing a shield (allowing them to have more defense and utilize items like cards that [[Card Reference#By race|always give 30% less damage from certain races]]). If [[Guillotine Fist]] will inflict 24,000 damage before shield cards, they could possibly survive with a {{item|id=4058 Cranial Shield}} (30% less damage taken from [[Demi Human]]s). However, if Guillotine Fist inflicted 40,000 damage, a Cranial Shield would likely not save them. This skill will have a chance to, though.
 
*Skills requiring a [[Spear]] can not be used simultaneously with this skill. However, a user who attacks primarily with [[Spear]] is not necessarily discouraged to learn this skill.
 
*Mobbing with this skill active can be annoying since the character pauses every time the animation of this skill plays from successfully blocking an attack (even though the player was not actually hit).
 
*This skill also benefits those who do not have [[Area of Effect|area]] skills and so level with [[Twohand Quicken]]. Ultimately, learning this skill just for [[PvM]]-reasons is not recommended.
