But if the upgrade included any increase in block dmg- or skill+ then I'd jump right on board. And if it didn't, nothing would have changed, and only PLDs with nothing left to make would upgrade it.
Well if it goes like the 95 and 99 upgrades go the changes will be +40 vit and 45% dmg converted to mp. <.<.

Not that I want to have to retrial but I seriously don't understand why, now especially with things attack for 600 base dmg and uncapping block rates on ochain, that ochain and aegis both didn't gain any block rate or defense as you trialed them up. I mean I remember them saying before how Ochain was effectively ilvl 150 or something but a 117 shield already comes rather close. So that doesn't really seem to fit. Sounds like really it will be trumped next ilvl increase.
