    Do you have any source that confirms maximum block strength of 25%?

    According to this reddit thread maximum block strength is now 20%, minimum (worst shield) 10%.

    Even with the highest possible shield in synced content I have yet to see any blocks higher than 20%.

    @OP: Seraph522 did a really good explanation of the skill, their post has everything you need to know.
    Tho... I haven't tried it on any guaranteed crit hits, might be useless against them...

    The current maximum block strength is 20% but it will increase with increasing item level over the course of the expansion and if it works like it did with former expansions, it should reach around 25% at the E12S shield.
