If you want 75% block with a lvl80 Sorceress wielding a Spirit Monarch, you need 301 dexterity.

So I'd say it's not worth it to spend more than 0 dexterity into it :rolleyes:

If you keep your dexterity base (25), using the same setup, you'll have 3% blocking :D

Please don't get max block with a Spirit monarch. If you want to go the max block route, use SS instead.

my light sorc currently has 44% block rate with spirit monarch, with 200+ dex(i spent a hell lot of points on dex :)), and ending up with a little less than 1.6k of life after BO.

if i didn't do anything to my block rate... it would probably be just about 10%ish and well, die lots of times in nihlathak runs :)

you should go with no block or block. not in between.

don't go with max block with spirit monarch casue that's a waste of dex. use stormshield, sanc troll nest, sanc tower shield, whitsan's guard, up'd visc, etc. for max block.

I would recommend against block.

Stormshield has 67% block when a sorceress wields it, so you need 195 dexterity to get 75% block at lvl80 :thumbsup:

if you wanted you could always just use a guardian angel, adding 20% to block.. but then again you will sacrifice the skills you can potentially gain from using your armour of choice.... i recommend against max block with a spirit....

Why would you use GA with spirit? Spirit is optimized for speed killing anyways.

Yes, he merely attempted to optimize the blocking without sacrificing toomany points in dexterity :rolleyes:

I'd leave dexterity at base when using spirit, since the dexterity gained from certain coincidental items, anni and torch will give you something along the line of 20% blocking anyway.

Indeed. I view it as more than a waste.
