1.3 acrobatics nerf

i was planning on making a block / acrobatics ranger for 1.3 and i only just noticed while looking at the new tree they nerfed acrobatics pretty badly now come with 30% less block chance, did you guys notice and what do you guys think about this change ?
My ranged chars do not give a damn, and my DW melee chars only felt a slight blow since they did not invest too much in block. Other than that, everything is fine and dandy.

I find it terrible that's what I think lol and it slightly affects my my bow user as well since she uses Rumi's conc but the 1.3 change to acrobatic's pretty much makes the flask worthless to her now.

My rainbow nuker got actually nuked in terms of defenses that's huge as for my shatter I use double void batteries so that's not really an issue.

Evasion/Ondars/Block melee works fine

60% chance to evade + 75% chance to block = 10% chance to be hit

+ 40% chance to dodge = 6% chance to be hit... dodge wasnt helping you that much, you can still use enfeeble and blind to increase your evasion even more.

I had a DW claw shadow using Bloodseeker + BOR and the DW block nodes + Acro to make up for his otherwise shit gear. Was surprisingly sturdy apart from the occasional one-shot (low hp). Guess he won't be reaving anymore in 1.3.

Is a ranger, possibility of blocking was a fail since day 1 and will be fixed in 1.3

yeh getting hit by attacks is no problem with blind and ondars guile even with this nerf but getting hit by spells is a problem ...

Just an FYI, it's 30% LESS not 30% reduced.

Yeah people are freaking out with negative block rate :p It's 30% off your block rate and not minus 30%. It work exactly in the same way that the block reduction gem (wich make me wonder if those things cumul themself ?)
