Note that the lion's rake is unblockable. The rest of the attacks you have your chance against.

Why do players spend 100's of hours perfecting defenses and not get hit by any normal attacks only to be hit by 'unblockable' ones.

By the same token, that spear/staff spec can't 'spin' away from a pincer, cranial, bash, trip or any other command input by the user. Consider 'rake' to be on par with 'pincer'.

If they are dodging these axes 99/100 times, why does slamming them together make it so much harder to avoid?

Game balance. Pretty much as simple as that, suspend disbelief.

What Im saying is that, if a ram's charge is considered a weapon that warriors know, then why aren't claws considered hand to hand? Just a bit confused on how this is balanced. I would think you either know them or you don't.

but you didn't say it wasn't either. Im not talking about rake. Im talking about round for round attacks. A ram will get maybe 1 in when I wield a spear, yet the lion avg 2-3 a round. Just a bit discouraging is all. Sorry for the confusion.
