    [Suggestion] Shields - Block - Paladins.

    Would it be possible to have shields revised so that instead of giving a flat "meaningless" number it would actually show the percentage of damage mitigated and the chance at which block is likely to occur.

    For example:-

    Ul'dahn Hoplon
    Block: 107
    Blockrate: 131

    Ul'dahn Hoplon Revised
    Mitigation 40% (damage received is reduced by 40% whilst blocking)
    Auto block rating 13%

    This would solve some of the issue with Warriors being favoured over Paladins.

    In the example above a Paladin with the same Defence as a Warrior taking a hit from Coincounter with the above shielded equipped would take almost half as much damage when blocking.

    Using moves such as Outmanoeuvre and Aegis Boon will now have more meaning during bosses that hit hard.

    Seeing as Paladin/Gladiator isn't my main class maybe others would like to give their suggestion on this.
