Max block nerf coming?

Every 2nd person in my thread about rebalancing bosses is like "learn to play", "get max block". This means that max block must be stupidly overpowered.

Yes, because those people are in charge of rebalancing the game.

*facepalm*
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
I have no problems with the bosses you mention to be honest. Bow pure evasion works just fine for each season, with no block works just fine. Just play safely, use potions and don't be a glass canon. And if you want to play glass-canon style just suck it up and recognise you should not clear all bosses with that specific build. If you want a catch all build, then make one.
l2p also OP, plz nerf.

Nerfing max (spell)block vs. bosses is easy: Introduce more nasty degen boss attacks.

Besides, most bosses are way easier with stuff like puncture traps or SRS.
Oy. No. Block is lovely as is, so is dodge. Evasion is a meh secondary mechanic (except when used with Dreamfeather and/or Queen of the Forest - maybe we'll see more uniques that give it power), but it's armour that seriously needs a buff.

What build are you running, what boss is it that you can't do?

What are your defensive/offensive stats?

The forum people might be able to help you overcome your problem.
Buff Armor as others said imo.

There should be a minimal threshold which armor protects you.

5k armor => minimum X% reduction
10k armor => minimum Y% reduction
15k armor => minimum Z% reduction

So it's not completely junk vs heavy hits.
