  • All Block and Crit

    so, I took the plunge and made all Block gems... absolutly 0 mdef/pdef gems. I don't notice a whole lot of difference, just that my block is low and I have 10k more hp. Its hilarious because I have 4k less pdef and 3k less mdef. Now I think I need about 2k more block ... p.s. I'm a mage

      Nope, not needed actually .... new penetration astrals will change the way you think. I got a kick start with block ... gonna refine for more block. If I can get 6k block and crit, I'm laughing!



      p.s. I was tanking in Group Arena today, me and 2 other mages, only 2 of us were heal. I was amazed that I didn't die more! My block (when it works) takes off TONS of damage.

        what I guess is, penetration lower the block rate not ignore the defense lol

                Admittedly, I don't know first-hand, however ... THIS IS JUST MY GUESS ... it will work like brutal edge and have a % chance to ignore enemy defense. So in my opinion, block > defense since block reduces damage and my higher block value seems to block a higher percentage of the damage.

                    does it really matter? Just high block and ftw! I fight mages and knights in my guild and I have the same results as if I never touched my gems. Would be better results if I had higher block value. 4k block right now, aiming for 6k.

                      I kinda believe that build a high defense first, then block next. But again, I don't know.

                        my pdef was 18 500 ... now it's 15 000
                        my mdef was 24 500 ... now it's 22 000
                        my hp went up 10k as I replaced all with block and hp and crit. Now I just need to refine for more block. I don't notice much difference fighting people other than the fact I need to make sure I heal to make up for lack of heal passive.

                        when I do block, it's massive damage reduction.

                            I thought block is only 25% damage?

                              that's what I thought, but higher block reduces higher amounts of damage or so it seems.... but just getting the damn thing to proc now is
