imjwmka: Pls delete, i want to league start with it next league
urghablurgha8531: I had a perfect roll of this shield a while ago and sold it for a div, I probably shouldve waited for someone to figure out if it was actually useful or not
AlejandroMeri: The formula for effective block is super easy. You can calculate the damage you take with a single multiplication: Let's assume you have a 65% block chance with this shield. That means you're not blocking 35% of attacks, so to calculate your Effective Block Chance (EBC), you do 35 * 0.35 = 12.25. This means you only take damage from 12.25% of attacks. To find the EBC, subtract that from 100.
cheeromatic: So jungroan the snitch now has apperentice i see
bhwung: They're definitely reducing it to -20% maximum chance to block spell/attacks next league. Even then it will be quite strong, but you'll need to invest way more in terms of passive tree, gear, and cluster jewels. Play it while you can now!
wowisboring: I yoinked your pob yesterday and just copied this build pretty much, holy cow it's so much tankier. Haven't died yet on this build after 500 deaths as bow character. Thanks for saving my league
somederp8915: Regarding Socketed Spells, what I noticed what also is useful when socketed:
- Wave of Conviction/Frostbomb: 15% Exposure for Fire (Avatar of Fire WoC), Lightning (Default/Lightning Boosted WoC) or Ice ( Frostbomb)
- Frostbomb: Disable enemy regen.
- Conductivity/Flammability/Frostbite: Automatic AoE curse on being hit.
vladimirsemyonov4314: If you are using axes ward is very good with it also. You can get chance to restore ward on hit, combined with block you almost always have your ward up.
qmoney1213: Completely new to this game, went against all your advice and started with this build. Thanks for this update man, gonna continue to roll with this til I can clear T17's and all that.
Malficion: Formula: 1-Chance not to block^2
Example:
30% chance to block
1-0.7^2 = 51% Chance to block
