Pally Is Almost Perfect

Also could anyone explain why Bulwark has 180s recast while being 60% chance while DD is same 60% with way shorther recast? is it because block is potentially stronger than parry? Also Bulwark is pretty damn weaksauce and unreliable for bosses, atm it feels more like filler CD for singletarget fights.

At the moment we're seeing blocks up to 33%? Might be lower after every pld moved to vit acc, but 33%+60% block rate on top of the already good block rate (so we're talking 70%upwards block minimum), means it's a viable defense against multi-hit physical tank busters.

Dark Dance is only a 30% chance increase to something with 20% damage reduction (and a low 7-8% base), which can have 20% evasion added on top (not good), meaning for physical multi-hit tank busters DRK's have to burn Shadowskin/Shadow Wall instead of say, bulwark.

Also because the dev's hate plds.

Depends if its kite or tower shield, with thordans tower shield blocks were 28-29% and with kite it was around 23-24%. Both Bulwark and Shelltron are actually pretty good with towers as they have less block rate than kites, so you kinda gain more out from those skills when using tower shields.

STR stopped affecting block/parry in 3.0. It's purely block rate/block strength on the shield now.
