I always use Guardian Angel and SS in hc. With those 2, you should be able to spend a bit less points into dex in order to achieve max block.

This also allows you to overcap your res to 90.

Edit: Always go max block when playing hc. This is a no brainer.

My bad in original post, walking does not maintain any extra block. You will always lose 1/3 block chance while running or walking.

I guess that means, for the most part, your max block is only effective while standing still or teleporting into a mob.

At lvl 88 if I max block I feel like I'd only have around 700-800 life. And thats with pretty high end gear (shako, ss, etc, but no ani or torch). Probably less without charms.

Can anyone present the true pro/con scenarios? Someone mentioned that max block can block doll explosions. Things like this are interesting to consider.

Where is Vit over Max Block an advantage? One scenario I can think of is when you have a CTA offhand or BO in your party. That extra 250 hp becomes ~400-500 hp etc. At that point maybe the vit > max block?


You don't lose block chance or defense when walking, only when running
