Other spells?

"by using spells such as Tempest Shield"

This makes it sound as if there are many. Or at least more than one. Any others? -AnnanFay (talk) 00:08, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Removed. If I am wrong then please readd. -AnnanFay (talk) 17:44, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Theoretical Maximum Spell Block

"Block chance is capped at 75%. Although it may not even possible to achieve, the chance to block spells is also capped at 75%."

If it's not possible post the theoretical maximum or a reference to calculations. Currently it's just speculation. -AnnanFay (talk) 17:44, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Specifically if you take all the Shield Block nodes then you get +69% Shield Block Chance. If you wear Daresso's Courage you get an additional +34% Shield Block Chance and "120% of Block Chance Applied to Spells when on Low Life". Meaning uncapped you get 103% Shield Block and 134% Spell Block (on low life). Not counting the "Shield Block and Spell Blocking" node. -AnnanFay (talk) 17:54, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

+#% Chance to Block: What is blocked? Only attacks?

What does "+#% Chance to Block" mean?
Chance to Block Attack Damage?
Chance to Block either Attack or Spell Damage?

For example on (intelligence) shields ("of the Citadel").
