Block Strength vs Block Rate

[Zoomie]

As a Paladin @LV46 you receive an ability known as Bulwark which raises the Block Rate 60% for 10s every 180s I personally am going to opt for Block potency > Block rate - PLD can't up it's block potency but it can up it's block rate (via abilities); VIT>STR>Parry>Crit>DEX seems to be the most acceptable way to prioritize your stat build. I would look here http://ventusinvictus.blogspot.com/2...din-guide.html

Would we not get more out a high block rate shield with that 60% rate buff? Having a higher base value on the shield will increase the value we get out of that 60% buff.
