So plainly speaking, it's not worth having Dex on equipment because you'd need far more Dex than the equipment would be capable of providing to have a significant effect on Block Rate.
So put simply, it's my misunderstanding on the effectiveness of raw statistics versus focus stats. e.e thank you both for that clarification.
