    I don't think PiedPiper is.

    Knowing you reduce damage by 35% when you successfully block with one shield and 25% with another tells you little. At first glance the 35% reduction seems better, but if you have a 15% block rate with it but the other has a 25% chance of blocking.

    The resulting mitigation from the first shield (35%/15%) is 5.25% while the second shield (25%/25%) is 6.25%.

    Traek was referring to overthinking whether it's tiers or not. It's overthinking because the community mod basically told us that there aren't any tiers.

    Do you happen to have a link to this? I'd like to see the wording myself.

    It's what Traek quoted. It's in reference to crit rating, but it stands to reason that it applies to shield/parry as well.

    Which kind of means that Traek was missing the point of Piedpiper's info request to focus on a term for data that was not being sought out.
