Block Cap
Does anyone know the particulars on the Block Cap?
In a raid with 10 pacts up and buffs and vials my block is up over 1200. But the block cap is based on your raw unbuffed block? I just want to know if it would be better for me at this point to add more dodge or tweak my sigils a bit. Thanks in advance.
927 soft cap
over this number it's divided by 5

You're way over cap. It goes off whatever your block rating is. Buffed or unbuffed makes no difference. Anything that provides block rating will contribute to the cap. +% block does not.Originally Posted by Sir Thrace

afaik even over the cap block still do pretty "OK" vs dodge or parry ratings given the item values

Caps are from block on gear or strength to block.
Talents and abilities that provide flat Block percentages do not hit DR's from soft cap and can allow you to exceed hard cap.
Unyielding Defense is factored after Block's damage reduction (obviously).
Imbued Armor/Power From the Masses/Damage Reduction via Armor I believe are factored in prior to the block/not block roll. But I'm not 100% sure that's true.
Checked it quickly. It can't be.
IA and PftM are factored after block.
Wasnt 40% our softcap and 50% the hardcap (out of str+block)?

Well like they said, the 60% hard cap is only based on block+str ratings.
Your total block will be Z (X+Y%). X is what caps at 60%.

I'm a bit hopeless with number crunching, is there a block value that you start seeing massive diminishing returns or none from stacking more block? ie say im at 1000 block, is that over cap? do i start stacking parry/dodge now?
Saying completely unbuffered that is, no tree abilities just raw stats.
so is ravenous str included in this cap? or just str from gear
