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.
