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.

Thanks.
Out of curiousity, how do you get 75% block and 45% spell block?

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.
