When they were hitting 99-110, 146 SS took them to 102-113. So, since it's a multiplier of damage, the base damage you're doing with no SS also affects how much SS it takes to see a difference

Yep the base damage effects how much skill speed it takes to see an increase since it's a % increase. About 82 skill speed is a 1% increase in DoT damage, but since DoTs do so little damage you won't really notice a 1% increase (I.E if your DoT's are doing 50 damage per tic a 1% increase is 0.5 damage which would basically mean no increase, while doing 100 per tic a 1% increase would increase the damage by 1).

Well, well, this thread went places, and for the better. We've made revisions to the tooltips for Critical Hit Rate, Spell Speed, and Skill Speed, which you should see in a future update. If you notice any other irregularities, please let us know!

so like... beside the gear itself, what now has an effect on block and parry rates?

other then the shield... what affects block rate?

Absolutely nothing.
