No block. Only spin.

This is my first run using the atgeir seriously and it works great on the wolves. The spin attack sometimes hits when a straight on attack misses because of the inclines. With atgeir the best defense is a good offense. Stagger them before they stagger you. I was running around up there in troll armor and iron helmet with the iron atgeir and doing fine (except when jumping around like a mountain goat without resting in between and losing all my stamina.)
