There is also Evade. Wich functions similar to Dodge.
You can block if you equip a shield or if you dual wield. Shields generally have a block chance around 25%. Dual wielding gives you a block chance of 15%. These chances can be improved with passive tree nodes, and with some items. If you block, you block all damage.
