Yup that's a cleric.

Gimme an L, gimme an I, gimme a V gimme an ELIKE.

Not sure if this has any impact on it, but you're 1L1 while Cata is 9L2...

Nice observation but I'm 7L1.

And realm rank doesn't increase blockrate on classes who don't gain +shield.

Your own screenshot says you're 1L1

7L1.9 brainiac

Clases that cant train shields block too much here, i will do a test on live when i got time, same goes when fighting wardens , they get mopary RA and being bufed u cant touch em .

I remember live imposing a 5% hard cap on the block rate for those who could not spec shield. Meaning, regardless of dex, you were at a 5% base block rate.


Likewise I recall those with evade 1 also being capped at 5%.

Sounds about right

Didnt had time..but i will make a test with a sham on uthg and pendragon.

Well i looked at a char builder and gave a rr9 cleric, max possible buffs, including over caps and everything, stuff we cant even get and the max block rate for a cleric is 23% based on dex calcs. As ive allwes thought, since they messed with block rates, its gotten very high, even for non shield specing classes. Most archers alrdy know this.

Having a 2-handed weapon vs a person with a shield and buffs = just run away it's pointless.

I sure hope that if they try to fix block on non shield speccing classes, they dont inadvertently gimp the classes who can spec shield.

Because we all know thats a magical circle here on uthgard...

I believe that to be correct.
Over the years (on US-servers) several Rangers asked me to craft a Small Shield to try in RvR. I told them it was of no use, they tried it anyway and within a day they agreed with me: Blockrate was very low and certainly not 15-20+%. I have no hard proof and no screenshots but 5% fixed does sound right.

Yes block rate isn´t live like. And as Glacius said, wardens with moparry and moblock are like wall. Maybe they block/parry 90% of hits.

Warden can't spec moblock on Uthgard...
