Revisiting DEX

[Truedragon]

You know what I think. I think it might actually work.
That is IF 40 DEX increases your blocking by 1% (and possibly parry aswell). And if you get 120+, thats 3% more blocking. Now if both blocking and parry goes up by that amount, this means a total mitigation of 5.91% which by itself is already pretty huge. But what Im more excited about, is that effectively it might be worth more than even 6%. Because blocking is stronger than parrying and the health loss from blocking is lower than parrying.

So you having 5.91 mitigation total split between blocking and parrying is gonna save more health than someone with 6% total mitigation but from parrying only.

Now for the trade off. What are we missing? We are missing 27 VIT from using penta melded gear vs ironworks (i120). That is only 392 hp.
