5 When an enemy blocks one of your attacks, reduce the amount of damage they can block by 8% for 5 seconds. This effect can stack up to 5 times and can occur once every 0.3 seconds.

I mainly need it vs target who block heal. So if it is 40% and they have 67% and turn it to 37% it will do the job, but if it rusn this to 45%is not so attractive. Maybe still ok to try it.

i think a lot of the problem with this set is it doesnt last long, and likely will just be cleansed by the targeted person

while it has a short cooldown of 0.3 sec, thats not likely gonna trigger more than maybe .5-1 sec because block only works on direct dmg

i dont know off hand if it applies as a direct reduction or multiplicative reduction as i havent tested the set

It's the kind of set I would probably never wear solo, but in a group or zerg setting there might be a way to ramp this up quickly on a perma-blocking target. Notably ice staff light attacks are a slow projectile and might give you that .3 second delay versus your skill casts, if you attack from range. Bound Armaments, Flurry, Jabs are all skills that might work, albeit only the first is popular. Bash weaving is another thing. The main issue I see is that good players don't actually perma-block. They block selectively or weave block. That said, Bound Armaments is the exact skill this set synergises with, is it not? Hits 4 times in 0.3s intervals and is organically a part of sorc's burst.

jabs for example hits 3 times in 0.8 sec

the cooldown of the set is 0.3 sec, so even though you hit 3 times it would at most apply 2 stacks per cast

honestly the most effective use of this set would be either on DK or arcanist

the beam and breath skills are direct dmg, hit every 0.5 sec so every tick would apply a stack, and they are like 4 sec channels so they would easily max stack in 1 cast

not to mention that beams etc are a great way to burn stam on a blocking person, because of the fast hit rate and block itself can trigger every 0.25 sec
