Reduce Enemy Block Chance While Using a Sword

Man, I haven' t seen this stat in ages.
After some investigation, it turns out this one was missed during the big standardisation of stat descriptions, and as such it's description does not match it's functionality - it's not a % reduction to block chance, it's a subtraction.

Quarl and I agree this is probably too powerful, and the functionality will be being changed to match the wording, such that it's actually reducing the block chance by a percentage of it's value, not just subtracting 85% (if you get both clusters).

Thanks to everyone for bringing this to my attention so we could fix it.

Ok... so if it does not (and we assume he uses Dual Strike) apply to the Mace, what happens at a strike where the Mace-part of the hit would be blocked but the sword-part not?

These passives change nothing about this situation. You can already block one weapon but not the other, as each weapon calculates a hit separately, and then the damage (if any) of those two hits is summed and applied as a single hit. If you block one weapon and not the other, then you blocked a hit, and you took damage from other one.
