I just bought a Stormshield for 12 fg, it's pretty cheap actually
You really just need to get a Stormshield and you'll need 225 DEX @ level 95 to have max block with it on an Amazon


The Spirit block frames are much much slower than Stormshield
It really isn't a good idea to try and go maxblock with Spirit
At that point, just really on your Dodge/Avoid/Evade
Because slow block frames will lock you up and get you killed actually

The Formula for Dexterity needed for Max Block is: [(150 * clvl) / blocking] + 15, rounded up.

What is your Amazon's level? Simply plug that into the equation like this:

[(150*your character's level)/47]+15= Dex needed

I'd suggest getting Moseers or Whitstans in that event
Spirit as a blocking shield is just no go

if you use spirit monarch, don't invest any dex.
for maxblock, whitstan or storm
