There are plenty of fake Rookies in Rookie channel. :/
Learning basics before attempting to get good at something is probably the best route to go; I know back when I started in 2007 or something I tried to be a super awesome sword user and came up with convoluted strategies that never worked. That lasted until 2008, then I became somewhat normal...then I tried to snipe, etc. now here I am. But I only progressed when I didn't automatically try to become an expert on one thing and one thing only. Also Block is much too rigid of a skill to be much use outside of certain maps; Sentinels are good replacements and they have a much wider range of uses.
