Question about Shelltron/Block

[Jukebox12]

If the 20% block rate is true then they better compensate Paladin, because as they stand, they have the worst personal mitigation. Hopefully that’s not the case otherwise block is getting a serious nerf.

Not really in terms on base mitigation pally is king. By base I mean no defensive cooldown.

People overestimate the value of passive blocking, it is not nearly as good you think. Sheltron negates the effect of passive blocking simply because it guarantees it, so if you were going to block that attack anyways, then that sheltron effectively did nothing for that hit. If i only use sheltron i can only block 20%, thats it. If a warrior uses Raw intution, they mitigate 20% and have a chance to parry another 15% on top of getting self healing via storms path or equilibrium that comes at no cost. Also, base self healing is far better than passive blocking for the reasons stated above.
