I have a lvl 95 hdin with pretty much gg PVM gear. (maxed/perf everything)

I have all stats in vitality and 0 in everything else, with BO i have lvl 40 holy shield (base lvl 18)

My chance to block is between 27% and 31% depending on monster..

Question is, should I use a token and add some dex to get 75% block?

Using a 45@res spirit sacred targe right now but block is low..

Sometimes I find myself using full rejuvs or redemption when I get caught in a circle of monsters
Would adding dex to get more max block be wise? or keep all stats in vit?

currently have 3914 health with BO/items

This is kind of a newb question but I guess what im asking is do most hdins add enough dex to get max block or just dump in vit?

Dex to max block (holy shield), dump remaining in vit.

Unless you're only vs' casters, no reason for a paladin not to run max/high block%.

max block depends on total dex, char, lvl and shield ;)
i bet 31% is showing on ur sacred targe and 27% on ur crap bo-shield :ph34r:

but anyways... u should respec
turn on ur holy shield and put points into dex till u reach 75% block

Hdin's Always/Must Have Max Block For Monsters/Opponents, This Helps With Blocking Defense Against Attacks More Often, Thus Less Juve's used, Then You Toss The Rest Of The Stat's In Vita. Make Sure You Have Maxed Stacked Res As Well. Gl G.

Due to holy shield and the class shield, the amount of health loss to add to obtain max block isn't notable.
Since it is a PvM character, just go for it.
