comparing our warriors to me

ok, so last night me and out warriors got into a lil sharing about our various tanking stats and i noticed something quite odd. they were sporting about 22-23% dodge and about 18% parry, which is normal i suppose, but they also had around 23+% block.

now in my normal tank set i have just over 26% dodge and about 18% parry, but only barely 14% block.

has anyone else noticed this kind of thing? is it normal or do i just have way too much damn dodge and/or not enough block?

thanks!

Well, they do get 5% block from one of their prot talents, so that accounts for some of it.

From what I remember of warriors' tier gear, they get shafted by having a lot of points tied up in block rating...which unless you're trying to get passively uncrushable, is about as useful to them as spirit.

Russia tanked the nazis while the allies DPSed.

I actually have 30% block or thereabouts now and only 18% dodge. Warriors can easily gear up to 25% dodge as well. I used to have 25% dodge and 17% block. I just comes down to what gear you are wearing.

Warriors now are in fact trying to become passively crushable, which would never be a goal of a Paladin simply because we will always be using holy shield for the threat.

Soltyr, the warrior "Shield Block" ability increases block chance by 75%, not 30%.

Oramac: As long as you hit passive crushing immunity, more avoidance is the way to go for boss tanking. It may be worth your while to stack up block a bit higher on low-damage multi-target encounters (IE- AE trash), but from a mitigation standpoint you're going to intake less damage with pure avoidance than higher block value/rating, and from a single-target standpoint I've heard holy shield becomes less and less of your overall threat as gear scales up, thus meaning that the avoidance is essentially a necesary evil to some extent

He's saying it's wasted block as it falls off the combat table.

Ah, I see what you're saying. Sorry about that, was wondering why you used 28% instead of 30% too.

Yeah, I just hadn't had the morning can of Dew and was still half awake when I got to the office and replied. Didn't bother adding up to verify where the 102.4% cap was, just noticed the numbers had only gone up by ~30 and was like "hrm."

I need to go back to keeping my trap shut, hehe. Harder to shove my foot in my mouth if I don't open it in the first place. Sorry about that!
