Equip stormshield but do not go max block.

Then respec to max block.

See the difference yourself.

I think max block is worth it. Maybe not on java, but she has evade/avoid/dodge. And even then it's still good on her.

the 25% is worth it then even thought its like a portion?


There are lots of physical damage power spikes in the game that will inevitably kill you if you don't take them into account. Damage reduction% and Block% are how you deal with that damage.

I think max block is worth it. But you don’t need to walk everywhere.

Generally speaking when engaging monsters you’re either teleporting on top of them or running to them-> stopping-> attacking. There aren’t all that many instances where you’re running past groups of mobs where the run/block reduction matters imo.
