i really like block and find it very useful in battle and some people just think the skills there to fill spare space......
what do you think?

No, quite a lot of people think block is great, myself included.

All of those.

I've never heard someone say it's a waste skill/space filler. Only how op it is with the veggie soups.

I try to stray away from it. I've had 4 different characters who went Sword and Board, the temptation to use a shield is always there.

I can't remember anyone saying block is a filler skill.

Block is very very good. Eventually though my dual-wielding, max enchanter/smith decked out in hyper-improved complete daedric gear character had no reason to carry a shield... Elemental Fury made everything die too fast. Never spent a perk on the block tree.

My second character is all sneak/archery/illusion/backstab, so she's been relatively low on blocking as well. If she ever gets into trouble, the primary tactic has been "run away!"

Recently though that alt (whom I decided would have NO crafting skills) found a Glass Shield of Major Blocking (at level, like, 18 or something ridiculously low), so suddenly blocking has become pretty dang awesome. Still no motivation to spend perks.

In other news, a zero-crafting character is actually incredibly awesome. It means things can actually be challenging, AND I no longer have any reason to hoard anything at all. The only stuff I pick up is stuff to sell and unique items for my home chest. That's it.

I find it easier to dodge their attacks then counter-attack. Yeah you can block but that just leaves them to attack you quickly again, unless you shield bash in which case you have like a free attack max. Secondly blocking let's you get surrounded very quickly, zipping through enemies and attacking a couple of times, then dashing away let's you fight multiple opponents at once.
