Blocking
Blocking is a means of preventing damage from enemy attacks by fending with a shield, staff or dual wielded weapons.
The base chance to block when using a shield(24% - 32%) or a staff(12% or 18%) is determined by the base item type. When dual wielding, the base chance to block is 15% no matter which weapons are used.
Additional chance to block can be gained by taking certain passive skills, using 
Tempest Shield, equipping a shield with the modifier Local Additional Block Chance %, or equipping unique items such as

which raises the cap to 78%.
Mechanics
Blocking an attack prevents all damage and harmful effects including status ailments. Reflected damage can be blocked. [1]
When an attack is blocked, the game also calculates if the attack would have caused a stun were it not blocked. If it would have caused a stun, the blocking animation is played, stunning you briefly. If it would not have caused a stun, then you get a "free" block with no animation. Faster Block and Stun Recovery and Increased Block Recovery modifiers reduce the length of the blocking animation.
The following formula is the complete calculation for the duration of the blocking animation (in milliseconds). If you cannot be stunned, the block animation will never play.
Block Duration = 350 / ( 1 + Block and Stun Recovery + Block Recovery )
Status ailments have no affect on your block chance, but being frozen will prevent the block animation from playing if it otherwise would, and chilled will make it take longer to play (since those two work by decreasing the speed at which your character plays animations).

Related Unique Items
A number of unique items give bonuses to block, either by directly granting additional block chance, or indirectly by enhancing it in various ways. Note: Only unique items with explicit block-related mods are listed here. Ofcourse, all shields and staffs have implicit chance to block and they also apply on uniques, but they are not shown here.

Block Recovery
Blocking is a means of preventing damage from enemy attacks by fending with a shield, staff or dual wielded weapons.
The base chance to block when using a shield(24% - 32%) or a staff(12% or 18%) is determined by the base item type. When dual wielding, the base chance to block is 15% no matter which weapons are used.
Additional chance to block can be gained by taking certain passive skills, using Tempest Shield, equipping a shield with the modifier Local Additional Block Chance %, or equipping unique items such as The Bringer of RainThe Bringer of Rain
Nightmare BascinetArmour: (486-748)
Evasion: (699-1072)Requires Level 67, 62 Str, 85 DexSocketed Gems are Supported by Level 30 Melee Physical Damage
Socketed Gems are Supported by Level 30 Faster Attacks
Socketed Gems are supported by Level 30 Blind
6% Chance to Block Attack Damage

+(200-300) to maximum Life
20% chance to gain an Endurance Charge when you Block
Can't use Chest armour
Extra gore"What lies beneath your feet?!"
"Sacred ground, watered with tears of blood!".
Usually only attacks can be blocked, but there are passives and unique items that apply a percentage of block chance to spells. For example, the unique amulet Stone of LazhwarStone of Lazhwar
Lapis AmuletRequires Level 5+(20-30) to Intelligence(12-15)% Chance to Block Spell Damage

Block chance is capped at 75%. The chance to block spells is also capped at 75%. The only exception comes from the unique The AnvilThe Anvil
Amber AmuletRequires Level 45+(20-30) to Strength(10-15)% Chance to Block Attack Damage

Mechanics
Blocking an attack prevents all damage and harmful effects including status ailments. Reflected damage can be blocked. [1]
When an attack is blocked, the game also calculates if the attack would have caused a stun were it not blocked. If it would have caused a stun, the blocking animation is played, stunning you briefly. If it would not have caused a stun, then you get a "free" block with no animation. Faster Block and Stun Recovery and Increased Block Recovery modifiers reduce the length of the blocking animation.
The following formula is the complete calculation for the duration of the blocking animation (in milliseconds). If you cannot be stunned, the block animation will never play.
Block Duration = 350 / ( 1 + Block and Stun Recovery + Block Recovery )
Status ailments have no affect on your block chance, but being frozen will prevent the block animation from playing if it otherwise would, and chilled will make it take longer to play (since those two work by decreasing the speed at which your character plays animations).
On hit effects from skills like Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Glacial Hammer". Please choose only one of the following ids:
CityStalkerGlacialHammer - 10% chance to Freeze enemies, 50% of Physical Damage Converted to Cold Damage (page)

However, skill effects based on damage like Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Puncture". Please choose only one of the following ids:
MonsterPuncture - +(112-197)% more Damage with Bleeding, Causes Bleeding (page)
MonsterPunctureAtAnimationSpeedUnique - +(112-197)% more Damage with Bleeding, Causes Bleeding (page) are essentially blocked.[2]
Related Unique Items
A number of unique items give bonuses to block, either by directly granting additional block chance, or indirectly by enhancing it in various ways. Note: Only unique items with explicit block-related mods are listed here. Ofcourse, all shields and staffs have implicit chance to block and they also apply on uniques, but they are not shown here.
