Why is the Champion Passive "Blocking Anchor" only adding 10% Block Mitigation on the Stat Sheet?

The Description says it should be adding 20%
I mean it technically does reduce the damage by 20% considering the base Block mitigation is 50% (of the 50% leftover damage, if you mitigate an additional 10% that's a 20% reduction multiplicatively against damage that does go through).
But then why not just match it with what it does on the stat sheet?
EG:
Increases the effectiveness of Block Mitigation by an additional +10%
Also, why is is description contradictory with the way the Heavy Armor Bonus works, which says it increases it by 1% per piece, and actually does increase it by 1% per piece (instead of 0.5%)?

✭✭✭There has historically been no great consistency in the calculation of mitigation factors. Some blocking factors have been additive, some multiplicative. ZOS may have cleaned this up and they're all multiplicative now. I thought I saw that in some patch notes a while ago. When I last tested however, albeit a few years ago by now, it worked as follows (to the best of my recollection):
Factor 1:
Base mitigation (50%)
Factor 2:
Class skills (10% DK passive, up to 20% Arcanist skill, 40% sorc skill)
+ 1H/Shield / ice staff passive (20%)
+ Heavy armor (up to 7% passive)
+ Footman set (8%)
+ Defensive Stance (10% passive)
Factor 3:
Bracing Anchor CP (20%)
+ Passive CP (4% - I forget the name)
Total block mitigation = multiply factors 1, 2 and 3 together. Example:
Factor 1 = 1 - 50% = 0.5
Factor 2 (example) = 1 - (10% DK + 20% 1H/Shield + 7% all heavy armor = 37%) = 0.63
Factor 3 = 1 - (CP 20% + 4%) = 0.76
Total in this example = 0.5 * 0.63 * 0.76 = 0.2394 = approx 76% block mitigation
Regardless of whether it still works as above or whether all factors are now multiplicative, it's likely by pure chance that Bracing Anchor came out at exactly 10% in your build, or appeared to come out that way. The Advanced Stats page hasn't always been accurate. For example, if you slot Defensive Stance, the additional block mitigation hasn't been reflected on that page in the past.1 -

The other night I was messing around and cast both Bound Armaments and Immovable Object on my Sorc Tank and the Advanced Stats page showed 106% Blocking Mitigation rather than being capped at (IIRC) 90%.
I would imagine that it was a UI error but didn't actually test it.0 -

✭There are two block amounts. The base block mitigation of 50. And then second number is extra block mitigation. Any source of boosting block amount always goes to the second number.
All extra block numbers are ADDED together then capped at 80%. That extra block then acts multiplicative with the base block of 50%.
Your stat sheet is showing the final value after those two numbers multiply. Anchor is indeed adding 20% to your extra block. But that amounts to only 10% to your final stat.
I won’t do further math unless you request it, but please know that it is EXTREMELY powerful. Don’t let that 10% number fool you.Royal Poet's Dungeon Tanking Guide https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/416797/royal-poets-guide-to-traditional-tanking-in-veteran-dungeons#latest0
