As soon as I leave town I push “R” and go walkmode. Hardly notice since aknots all of my chars teleport. But that’s mostly for defense. I don’t do this with my walk bowi and fury druid ofcourse.
Except for my non-range melee I don’t invest in block chance. I prefer to put those in extra vita.

Ow and Hammerdin. He always in the middle of packs, and it’s low investment to go max block with HS

Short answer. Block works when walking, not running.

Block works while teteporting.

Blocking works while running, but is reduced to 1/3 of your block chance. So 75% -> 25%.

to answer your thread title- extremely important. you should try to incorporate max block into most hardcore builds.

and with regards to walk/run, just run, it doesn't matter. walking in d2 is for weirdos

You dont need to walk everywhere… just gotta be extra careful

Also max block isnt necessary for all class. Its good for melee builds like zealot

On lvl 96 javazon i have 60% block which is good enough cuz you want a lot of hp too

It’s not necessary but it’s helpful
