It's still possible. The nerf did so that it's no longer possible to block 100% no matter how many attackers firing.

Your chance to block/parry/evade has a lot to do with your lvl/rr versus the lvl/rr of the attacker.

The shield arrow nerf was supposed to nerf unspecced shield with high dex vs arrows and afaik ensure that multiple arrows from multiple attackers counted towards a shields block rate
ie small shield (namelly scouts) having difficulty with more than one ranger firing at them

Critshot was full of "I quit" threads by scouts before the nerf was even on pendragon for testing, but havent seen as many threads since the patch went live complaining about it.
But seeing that vid of suprising death's where the /level 20 druid from pyrd blocks his arrow would suggest that the nerf wasn't all that bad.

It has been nerfed abit but with 50 shield you are still able to block almost all arrows.

I've actually considered dropping IP2 from my solo template for this very reason, and the more scout classes breed the more heals I get and my ML7 shield is loving it, plus I don't even need to engage, 42+17 MOB3 DEX3 shield ftw! Rawr.
