So right now im playing a lvl 68 Commando with chance on block skills from items and devotions.
Against meele enemies it is very effective. But against ranged heroes or spells the skills wont proc. Does block only work against physically melee attacks?
When i have to much evasion and/or DA it is contra productive because i wont block so often?
Block works against ranged attacks and spells, and even DoTs. The only thing you can’t block are AoE attacks.
On block procs have a fairly short radius. They go off but don’t reach the ranged enemies. If you go stand next to the enemies but don’t attack you can see the procs kill them.
If you have high DA you still block enough.

I made this build a few days ago. Just wish I had the Markovian’s set. I’m also searching high and low for this ring - http://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items/7849-Empowered-Sentinel’s-Seal

I’m probably going to modify this build further. In it’s current state I can still focus on retaliation, but think I’m going to remove the points from Counter Strike and max Fighting Spirit instead. :undecided:
