Some BLMs seems to think manawall nullifies magic damage too.

I see what you did there. xD

The thing with these "by x%" things in this game is that sometimes it works like Bulwark and sometimes it adds the percent mentioned. Wrath stacks are an obvious example of the latter, the crit bonus is an added percent to your normal crit chance (just see how much more often you crit when Infuriated).

Hi.

to be honest it wouldnt be OP if it's +60% flat, you are still affected by

1.) RNG (80% max block chance)
2.) you can only mitigate physical damage
3.) you can only mitigate frontal damage
4.) the amount of mitigation still depend on the shield you use.

It honestly feels like 80% though, whenever i have bulwark up I will block stuff coming my way.

not to mention there was a skill in 1.0 that allow 100% block chance for 10seconds, and another skill that gives you a single block that restore health on the damage you take.
