Did trials with PLD yesterday, for lulz and science. Got into Suzaku, and tell you what: I blocked 20% on my O12s shield. That is 20% on high-end lvl 70 gear in lvl 70 duty.

I didn't try lvl 50 or 60 yet, but the result will most likely be the same.

I don't blame any of you, but ppl who spread wrong information (to you and others, unfortunately) should check their facts first. I also reviewed a PLD guide which stated Sheltron as followed: "Block strength scales with shield. Current estimations show blocks reducing damage by 20% at launch to 25% at the end of the expansion."
This is so wrong. The first estimations from my previous post showed that Block is 20% mitigation at max. Then some guy(s) think "uh, parry got 5% weaker, therefore block has be 5% weaker also!!!".

It was the same with WAR (guides) in 4.x, they stated IR was 40% of WAR's total damage output... wrong! Look up ANY parse from SB raids, filter IR buff, do the math, and realize it's closer to 30%.

Spreading misinformation further and further without checking the facts, wouldn't make it the truth, but it does make the mass think it is.

(That's one reason I avoid balance discord.)

PS: Should there be anything or anyone that can actually prove those "new estimations" to be true, I am glad to give in. But right now, everything speaks against these estimations.
