+'''Increased Blocking Speed''', more commonly called "'''fast block'''" or '''IBS''', helps characters [[block]] more frequently.
+==Description==
+A character goes into block animation if its opponent succeeds in the hit check and the character succeeds in a blocking check. The character can do nothing else during the blocking animation. Blocking is only possible while engaged in melee combat, or while walking. (Not while running.) See the [[block|blocking article]] for more details.
+Improvements to faster blocking are difficult to achieve since the bonuses to it are found almost exclusively on shields.
+* In some cases the equipped weapon influences the blocking speed.
+* The Assassin's [[Assassin Shadow Disciplines#Weapon Block| Weapon Block]] skill is also affected by her Faster Block Rate, and the same values as for shield blocking apply.
+* Act 3 mercenaries do not block even though they are capable of using a shield.
+* In classic D2, this modifier was found only on [[Culwen's Point]], and it had no effect.
