Does Unwavering Stance make + Block Recovery redundant?
Is Block Recovery a kind of stun? I'm wondering if I need to invest in Block Recovery if I have US?

AFAIK
Shield animations only occur when a hit would have stunned you, block recovery speeds up the shield animation. If hits can't stun you, shield animations should never play, so block recovery would have no effect. |

Thanks. Interesting. So if you have Unwavering Stance, any bonuses from any gear which give + % increase to block and stun recovery are useless! I had figured that stun recovery obviously would be, but I wasn't sure about block recovery....

I can confirm that unwavering stance you don't play block animations or get stunned at all ever.
I have 75% block, 45% spell block and no recovery with unwavering stance. Last edited by haplessGOONtv#7077 on Apr 6, 2013, 8:25:20 PM

Thanks.
Out of curiousity, how do you get 75% block and 45% spell block? Underrated stats: Basic human decency, small quantum of respect, microportion of compassion

Well you can use one of the two unique items that give approx +50% spell block chance and there is a passive node near the Templar tree that gives + spell block chance. It is not that hard actually to max your block chance when using a shield with 30%+ base block chance. The skill Tempest shield becomes very useful when paired with high spell/attack block chance. Throw a Health/mana leach support onto it and you have a 1 in 4 chance to gain HP/MANA each time you are hit. Cannot wait for the new power charge on crit support. I will be connecting it with tempest shield to keep my power charges maxed at all times.
