But if you use every single GCD to block, you're not attacking, you're not stunning, you're not using Flash, you're not putting the Strength debuff, etc...so basically, you''d be a burden to your party.
With this, being a good PLD would be knowing when you need to block and when you need to attack, depending of the flow of the fight or the situation of the party.

As for the "higher block strength", it would already be a thing with the current 30s Sheltron...if ilvl didn't trump almost everything.
