You're an idiot. If I'm a troll for discussing stats, and you aren't for making ad hominem posts and calling everyone who doesn't agree with you a noob - then I really may have to give up on you.

If you cannot understand that neither Block Rate nor Block are a universally better stat, and that they work in tandem, then I don't care how high up your ego is in your mind, you wouldn't be tanking in any party I'm in.

High Block Rate, low Block damage mitigation: 10 hits, block 5 of them, negating 20 damage each.
Low Block Rate, high Block damage mitigation: 10 hits, block 2 of them, negating 50 damage each.

If you cannot grasp that those are the same, then all hope is lost.

Again, add to this that there are 2 GLA skills that enhance how often you will Block in a fight, whereas none that enhance how much you will Block for, and it's plain as day that a GLA Tank should be sporting a large shield with high mitigation.

Third time I've pointed this out, and to each of them you've simply replied with an insult and a blatant disregard for the point made, simply regurgitating your "All your damage mitigation is POINTLESS if you CANNOT block in the first place." drivel.

Aegis Boon forces a guaranteed Block. It also gives HP back based on how much you block for.
Outmaneuver increases Block Rate for a set duration, and gives bonuses to TP and MP based on how much you block for.

If you cannot even form a cohesive response addressing those points that clearly point towards higher Block value being more desirable on a tanking GLA's shield, then don't even bother posting like a broken record. It's just sad really.

Do yourself a favor, get off that high horse of yours and learn a thing or two. Repeatedly calling oneself a pro and calling others noobs does not make one professional.
