How does one calculate block mitigation, is there "too much" or a hard cap to block mitigation, does block mitigate elemental, poisons, disease ECT, how does blocking tie in with regular mitigation and wards and such, and how much cost reduction can I put into block before I'm either capped or diminishing returns kicks in?
Been tanking for awhile on Xbox but have very little tools to calculate all of this. I am main tank for guild and we are starting to take on veteran trials. I would appreciate all information you could provide. Thanks!

✭ummm block is weird as *** for calcs. There is diminishing returns for blocking mitigation. I believe the highest you could get was 90% way back in the day. Now however, tanks have moved away from the block mitigation idea and more to the support team idea (with warhorns).
Those are all damage types so ofc it does.
Its just another layer of mitigation. Armour and Spell res still are factored into the damage calcs even when blocking. Damage shields aren't affected by block (as far as i know).
Im not a pve tank but i would hazard a guess at having 75-100 points in shadow ward and either sturdy or block reduce cost glyphs.

Madhatter81Soul ShrivenLol might be weird, and i don't play the cookie cutter tank. I do look at the forums and builds for insight, and constantly dig for numbers. Haven't really found a wealth of information about blocking though I had been looking for close to half a year. So had to ask0

DOT's bypass your block and some kinds of damage of certain bosses.

"I still do not understand why I followed the advice of Captain Rana to bring the villagers of Bleakrock into safety. We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU0
