I don't think you know exactly what you're talking about either.

First of all, Aegis still has a very good block rate. Secondly, it's the premier shield for -MDT. What's the point of taking the block rate up to Ochain's level? Then Aegis will simply be a better option overall.

Aegis having a lower block rate than Ochain is reasonable because of it's magic damage mitigation. Ochain having a higher block rate is acceptable because it's your true anti-physical shield.

Aegis - Anti-Magic
Ochain - Anti-Physical

And Aegis STILL has a better block rate than any other shield you would regularly use before it.
