Judgement Staff / Block Attack or Block Spell Damage

Dear all,

I found in the Patch Notes from 3.25 Patch the following line:

Ezomyte Staff and Judgement Staff now have +25% Chance to Block Attack Damage while wielding a Staff (previously +20%).

I am pretty sure that my Judgement Staff from Necropolis League had "+20% Chance to Block Spell Damage" not Attack Damage.

Can anybody help me understand?

Many thanks
Best

I don't think so Cerri. What makes you think that it was spell block? There are some nodes on the passive tree that give spell block while equipping a staff, did you have any of those allocated?
yes it used to be spell block. not sure if bug or oversight
"buff grenades"

- Buff Grenades (Buff-Grenades)
Either there is a mistake in the patch notes, or staves now give Block Spell Damage and warstaves give Block Attack Damage.


My Judgement Staffs always used to have 20% Spell Block. Not Attack Block.

Thats why I am wondering about these Patch Note from 3.25:

Ezomyte Staff and Judgement Staff now have +25% Chance to Block Attack Damage while wielding a Staff (previously +20%).
I see.

Same update on the wiki

Ezomyte Staff
and Judgement Staff now have +25% Chance to Block Attack Damage while wielding a Staff (previously +20%).


Strange that it would not say "(previously +20% Spell block)"

Seems a bit weird they would change it like that without more explanation.

I thought it was Warstaff's blocked attack, regular staff blocked spell. I guess I was wrong by evidence of your staff. Looks like they are changing the uniques aswell.

Latest version of PoB 2.45.0.

Ezomyte Staff 25% chance to block attack damage.
Did anyone figure out if it's going to be attack damage?

2.46.0. has updated now to both block attack I believe.

How different are the mod pools for rolling staff vs warstaff? Guessing pretty different?
