All the top archers use block astrals so why not block gems

30% dmg reduced when it procs. Use it to replace mdef only when it's CW and that would help heaps. Oh, hello fellow singaporean!

Cool, thanks Anata and hi Darrylch...

I have a lvl 0 holy enshieldment astral stored... hmm am wondering to drop my lvl 5 holy will power and use block instead... i feel that at high levels, the fixed amounts of 1000-2000 p/m def is will serve to reduce a flat 50% of that amount of damage. In contrast, 30% damage reduction IS much more efficient at reducing damage... which is similar to Goddess Blessing...

Imo, you should just save up star points to buy and lv it up. You're an archer, Gold is not an issue. Don't feed your mdef away.

Just an update, I'm all in testing out this block strategy. I'm up to 3312 block rating and its procing nicely. LOVE when knights go for kill shot EDD and I'm still standing to get last hit for the win. : )

Interesting thread. Block seems to proc better than crit in pvp...

2k def is better then 2k block, but w8...at your lvl block should be main 70v astro

[-Eilistraee-]

Anata, why block and not illusion then? is it because block kicks in more often than illusion?

Ty,
Eili

I too was thinking red block as my 7th astral but many in my guild were suggesting deflection or red HP. Is 2k block better than deflection, illusion or HP for archer 7th astral? Thanks.
