Block Nerf?

Whats the problem with block then?

Ill give you real experience:

I played full block char with 5.5k life, didnt have more because not enough passives to get more.

This other guy was playing same spec but with no block nodes at all, he had 8k+ life.

We took down double Dominus in 74 map.

Now: I was better vs his lighting spells with my spell block. Touch of God almost one shot me and only hit the other guy for about half of his life.

He could tank almost twice as many exploding minions than me.

We both had pros and cons.

So tell me, whats the problem with block? Do you understand that you spend half of your passive points for getting it?

Remove all extra block chance from Bringer and Anvil and i guess investment would be high enough to warrant where blocking is atm

Rather see them come up with a new skill, lets say a curse with -%block or w/e to bypass blockbuilds for pvp then to start balancing block in general.


Kinda sucks when builds and mechanics gets balanced for PvP reasons.

Double the block % nodes passives, reduce block chance effectiveness.

Less investment required and less protection.

As I someone told me a month ago, keep it as it is but on block you arent immune to damage but you take 75% less damage

Blocking part of damage is not realistic. If you block; you block.

Perhaps lowering block cap from 75% to 60%?

Yes and no... if you block, you absorb the impact on your arm, slowly but surely that will kill your arm, especially if you block incorrectly sometimes..

this is probably the way to balance it
