Mechanics

The You take 20% of Damage from Blocked Hits modifier is additive with similar modifiers found on Glancing Blows and Ritual basetypes like Brimstone TreadsBrimstone TreadsArmour: (236-271)Requires Level 80, 124 Str+(4-5)% Chance to Block Attack Damage
You take 20% of Damage from Blocked Hits
.

Other than taking damage from the hit, the mechanics of block are unchanged. A blocked hit still cannot apply on-hit effects, such as ailments or curses. The chance to play the block animation is based on the full damage of the hit.

By default, you take 0% of the damage from blocked hits. Glancing Blows makes you take 65% of that damage. The Implicit modifier on Basemetal Treads, Darksteel Treads or Brimstone Treads, and the explicit modifier on The Oppressor, makes you take 20% of the damage of blocked hits. If you have at least one of these, you'll take 85% of the damage of blocked hits.[1] With all three sources, you will take 105% of the blocked hit, or 5% more damage than you would have taken if it was not blocked.

Design attribution

The art for the Oppressor was created by Grinding Gear Games senior concept/3D artist, Dane Brennand.[2][3] Brennand also created the art for Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = The Squire", though he described the Oppressor as the "cooler shield" visually, without knowing the item's stats.[4]
