Ok this may sound like a really infurior question, but I was wondering about block rate with Dual claw assassins...

Does Dex add to the block rate at all? I found an online skill building guide *Here* (http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~cbradfor/diablo2/skills.html) , and even at lvl 35 Weapon block is only 61% blocking... Will Dex help, or will anything? Aside from a shield that is... lol

Thanks for any help :)

Well I remade my WW assa at like lvl 53 or so, because I wasnt happy with the block rate... Now she's Chaos/SS does the extra 14% blocking from 61% to 75% make a massive difference pvp? I know that weapon block also blocks magic attacks, but I wasnt sure if its worth it to ditch the chaos/SS for chaos/Fury...

Any suggestions?

Well if you run then you only have 25% block with a shield. That and the fact shield block doesn't block elemental missile based attacks (just about everything that doesn't do dmg over time) makes WB superior over shield block in just about every occasion.

Ok, well thank you, I appreciate the help. :worship:

Trading for a claw for Fury as we speak, heh :D
