blocking

[Seviathan]

ok, its been ages since i've been looking into the beatiful formulaes of blocking.... so well i need to know what the hard cap is and exactly how to calculate the dex, skill & RA's into it(so i dont make a template with tones of +blocking and wont use it)

make a template with as many +shield as possible, because its pretty hard to reach the maximum. yea theres a maximum, said it on purpose. by getting 1 in shield you get 0.5% chance to block, mob gives certain %s, and dex affects it greatly - but cant give you details on that. afaik the hard cap was presented because of the catacombs blocking% bonus.
considering these calculations are against lvl 50 mobs, you want to get the most skill, most dex, mob and block% for bigger raids if you want to be efficient.
also note that rvr you can meet many dual wielding classes. i dont think you can reach the hard cap against them because they halve your chances to block.(also catacombs block% doesnt work)
(same with pve tho, you can meet dw mobs there as well)

so imo, get as much as possible.

you could actualy get 100% blockrate for a short while when catacombs was new

whould go for some catacomb blockage and high dex and shield if you want to make a blockbot Template tho

Hardcap won't be introduced for a couple of patches, so just get max.

there is one way to get 100% blcking, it is great on BoM and BoS artis use engage when going for belt. engage brings my pallys blockrate to 100%. he is 42+5 with MoB3

engage only works against 1 opponent afaik?
