Block value in d3

I won't put it directly in the guide, but i'll post my 2 cents on SnB barb d3 account.

Shields:
This item slot has the potential for highest defenses of any items and it has chance to block, which is a great way to mitigate incomming damage.

Block:


There are 2 factors about blocking. Block chance and block value.

Block chance means how often a block can occur, normally shields range from 10 to 20% base b.chance, with the exception of Stormshields, which have 10-25%. Block chance can be further increased by up to 9% block chance affix that can roll on shields, but can also be found on certain legendary items, such as Justice Lantern, Helm of Command etc.

Block value is the amount that incoming dmg will be reduced by. It cannot be increased by any other items, rolls or abilities.To my knowledge, all attacks and attack types can be blocked. Damage is blocked AFTER mitigation sell Diablo 3 account
