QUOTE(jacquelope @ Aug 23 2015, 01:01)  Ah hah, they might not think such a thing is important enough, either. Would you consider such information in one place to be important?
hmmm... just a piece of info. moreover, there are also a few stats that behave like additive while being actually multiplicative, like crit chance. quite a headache for mathematics (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

QUOTE(jacquelope @ Aug 22 2015, 19:58)  So something like 75% block is never going to happen and 100% is right out? In heavy armor, I've only seen shields and plate greaves that offer block.
Even if its possible its not going to be worth it as one's level increase.When SS/regen/spark not available,additional 5% may save one's skin.But as it becomes available,it may be better to use power armor and simply upgrade the shield than upgrading entire shielding plate. [attachmentid=69210] It took me about 2 1/2 hour (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) to clear eternal darkness on hell with obsolet shield armor set.Switch to 0.81 un forged sup power slaughter after crying about it here and took the advice,and it save me 1 hour.CMIIW This post has been edited by reinz springfield: Aug 23 2015, 01:27

ARGH. If you want to play, go for it. Playing on <80 stamina gets you the (nearly) the same amount of experience per stamina point, plus you get a lot more income and drops. It's only that worth considering if you sometimes play above 80 and sometimes play below 80, in which case the best option is to play the higher arenas on high stamina, and the leftovers on low stamina.

QUOTE(jacquelope @ Aug 23 2015, 02:21)  I was browsing Superlatanium's store and a question struck me... is 5-ish the highest amount of block you're going to get from plate greaves? Would be nice if one could raise block to 50-60% or so...
You can get a good idea of the range of equipment stats by looking at the wiki for Equipment Ranges. In this case, look at http://ehwiki.org/wiki/Equipment_Ranges_Heavy#Plate_Greaves, and you'll see that the estimated maximum base state for peerless shielding greaves is 6.33. Interpreting these ranges is a bit harder, and I've not quite figured out the new changes since 0.82 patch. QUOTE(jacquelope @ Aug 23 2015, 07:01)  Ah hah, they might not think such a thing is important enough, either. Would you consider such information in one place to be important?
Doesn't hurt to try. I think it's just there for accountability and to prevent vandalism. My wiki account was validated when I just wanted to update the pxp multipliers in IW. This post has been edited by mozilla browser: Aug 23 2015, 03:16

Zircon would likely be near the top, like ruby, but at the point you're at you should just be focusing on block chance (and Endurance existence, and PMI).

Okay so Mag force shield, 3 PABs, high block chance, and high PMI... what should I offer for that?

If the type of shield you want is not one you're going to soulfuse, then 2 PAB is definitely fine. (skip Str or Dex, probably Str) "Of Warding" is also probably fine for your level because you're quite vulnerable to Sprite and Celestial SP attacks, and will continue to be even after you get Spirit Shield, for a while. (They're the ones that Void oneshot you on high difficulty) Finding Mag quality ones may be difficult though, since your level is low, and 0.81 shields have significantly lower block.

Does this mean finding LU ones are even more difficult?
