Effect of charging?

I was under the assumption that charging reduced ur block to 1/3 , 0 defense, and increase chance to be deadly/critical striked.
But now I'm hearing mixed respones.

Does anyone know which is true?

It all depends whether you were walking or running before you charged. I believe that if you charge while you were running, then defense/block is as if you were running. And if you charge while walking, you still have your defense/block as if walking. For info, I normally have my character set to walk when I charge as only vigor can boost your charging speed anyway.

But do you know for sure?
Aren't charging speeds the same regardless if you run or walk?

Charging speed is the same regardless if you run or walk but your blocking and defense isn't.

i agree with romvs luis. since charging is a skill that makes it look like hes running very fast. if you set it on walk then charge, the speed will be the same since your activating the skill. so if you are running then charge, and you get hit, you'll prolly get hit due to 0 defence while using the skill, just as if you were walking then you charged and didnt get any damage, it due to you ahving 75% block and def as you activated the skill. (i know this question is because of the discusion in the pvp forum ) he did say he doesnt get hit often, maybe he was walking... ask him.

Can anyone actually confirm this? Cause I've heard the opposite from alot of people.
And how bout the increase chance for deadly strike?

What I said is from experience at charging people and what is known here in the forums. If you don't want to believe, either test it yourself or stop asking if you have already made up your mind otherwise.
