GC items Fail = SE Fail

Currently blocking is broken, having all my sent gear with +block rate and the best shield in the game with a +20def materia melded to it still does not make it as good as that shield.

People are still failing to see the obvious reason that it is the best shield. All your damage mitigation is POINTLESS if you CANNOT block in the first place. high block rate is always better than high mitigation. Even if I dont block for much, atleast I blocked for something instead of not blocking hardly at all.

And all you noobs saying "uhh derp i'd rather block for alot than block alot for low cause you cant get higher mitigation uhh derp"...try increasing your vit or defense...noobs. there is materia for that...

Let me get this straight, that shield is only good because blocking is "broken", right?

What about the total damage taken vs blocked at the end of a fight? Won't it be the same? Just like DPS can be equal with high damage/slow swing weapons vs low damage/rapid swing weapons. It would be the same with shields? Explain how it's not possible with shields because it is "broken". Just take a look at my classes and you'll notice I do am a newb at gladiator, teach me. If you truly are right, you'll be seen as the master gladiator from your peers and no one will oppose.

?? of course people will oppose because human beings are stupid.

I have said it in a previous post and I'll say it again here. People were stupid and thought Auto Block was a buff. The few people that did infact realize it was a huge nerf got flamed for saying it was a nerf. Same thing is happening here.

I said perviously I will not feed the trolls and repeat what I have already said about dmg mitigation vs blocking. End.
