Stat Discussion: BLOCK and Block Rate

[DarkZAN]

Ok, so i read in the forums that the block rate for this game will be 100 Block = 3% block rate.
since knights have an ability where once you block you gain 4% of your HP.
i thought, hey why not go for that build?
i now have 3,000 Block stats and i am a bit dissapointed because i do not have 90% block rate.

Can someone please clarify if the 100 block = 3% block rate is true?

if not, Does anyone know what is the block rate? (X Block = X% block rate)?

Thanks in advance.

there is no definite law regarding dodge.

So the best what we can do is.. make all gear have block on the stats, used block astral. Don't forget pray dodge when enemy hit u, thats help.

3k is approximately what 2.3k would do before patch.

Hi. so you are saying that 3k Block is 69% Block rate?

I read here that they nerfed block. it is true then.

a very big disappointment.

Thanks.

well think of peeps in chineese server having 9k block

9k block. yes. but who has 9k block in this version?
in my opinion, this block nerf came too early.
most people's blocks are at 2~2.5K in US version.
some players that sacrificed attack and defense (like me) have 3-3.5K block.

point is: NO ONE has 9k block here. the nerf came in too early.

i was hoping to have 90% block rate so that i can slowly but surely kill opponents with reflect damage, that was the whole plan.
but i guess my character is ruined now. no more strategy just pump up attack and hope the opponent doesn't cast AOEs oh wait... they will always cast the AOE.

without block, im screwed.

Congratulations to me.

I have 3k block. After 1K normal hits, I blocked 327 times. Granted 1K isn't a large sample but it's so far off of 60%, I can't believe 60% is accurate (onimad even suggested *90%* at one point).

We have no way of knowing the true formula. Is it exponential decay? Is it asymptotic against a certain maximum threshold?

[CondorHero]

There is no way that 100 block = 3%.
Say it enough times and people will start to believe. Spread it enough and the masses will believe.

Block and Critical rates are diminishing returns. This game has many features of concavity incorporated into it. Block and Crit are no different.

I bleive its asymptotic to 100%. With diminishing returns. With your info need to make decay 2x stronger.

Thats my thought too the more you get the stat the less percentage it gives in return but I believe the amount blocked goes up too.

[CondorHero]

Even if its asymptotic to 100, I believe it becomes very very hard to achieve.

[kattuktk]

Block rate is 1% per 100 block points

[B4nsh33]

Block rate is 1% per 100 block points

i won't even dignify that with a proper response

[kattuktk]

I have been experimenting with block rates for about a month now, calculating number of hits and number of blocks each day, this is the best i could come up with(I have 1.6k block), given a character has 5% chance of naturally blocking an attack, my block rate should become 21% by this formula, which is exactly the results i got each day(Ignoring the WB as u get a buff on block stats too now)
