Some long time ago (1+ years ago), I was being told archers & mages couldn't make full use of BLOCK & could feel free to replace it with some other stats that we need. At that time, I had similar feeling while playing my archer & mage.
Now, after 1+ years, knights can't make full use of it any more (+3k HP buff is just ridiculous & negligible in most cases), everyone gets huge def stats, & RES plays more role than anything else. With BLOCK being a (fairly high) chance to stack another layer of damage reduction, it seems like everyone should have it (up to a certain limit). On the other hand, no one really seems to NEED it since RES is more effective & res gems don't occupy gear & astral slots. We don't have any way to boost block stats, so for equivalent effects, we probably still want more def stats for the sake of ranking & HoF (even archers still get def boosts from dragon soul & wings).
I feel like, since the game has changed so much, maybe it's time to revisit this topic & reconsider this stat? Any thoughts?
For the record, I use block on the knight (my main) & mage (2-year-old camper), but not on the archer.
