FOHer/Max block?

[WildfireFX]

I've seen a few people say adding 125 dex for max block on a foher isn't worth it and to just do enough str for your gear and go all life. Is this true?

 

[Guru]

with holy shield it is maxed

 

[WildfireFX]

no matter what amount of dex the character has?

 

[Guru]

no, but if you have 125 dex, the block will be maxed if you use holyshield

its easier to figure out how much dex you need by looking at your block % everytime you lvl up. Just add dex as needed to keep max block.

Blocking Formula:
Effective Blocking % = [Blocking on Gear x (Dexterity – 15)] / (Character Level x 2)

For those lazy bastards who can't read the bloody sticky.

Quit guessing, and be certain.

read the thread, that isnt what i was asking.

 

[Guru]

err, sorry, I misread it too. And I'd say it's worth the 125 points to dex

more life vs. not taking any damage

if your not taking any damage 3/4 of the time... thats alot better then just being able to actually take a bit more damage while blocking less

its up to personal preference, but max block is usually the smarter way to go
