Some small tests on this. A lot of stuff is messed up on the test server(no spellcast....) but Motenten fixed kparser for it damn fast, Thank you!
Note: Due to battle mod not working on the test server, I couldn't verify the mob levels beyond "IT." I'm assuming 104~105.
Steadfast Shield - 496 Skill - ItemLevel 105
Code
Summary
Total hits:1,570
Blocked:756
Non-blocked:814
Block% 48.15%
AVG Blocked DMG:12.31
AVG non-Blocked DMG:67.89
Block DMG%- -81.8%
Total Block DMG reduction -39.3%*
*this value is before the PDT on the shield itself. As this is the block DMG- value purely
So, gained about 10% block rate with the addition of +54 skill(the shield originally had +10 now +64)
This puts Steadfast slightly ahead of Aegis, even before the DT on the shield itself. Still doesn't touch Ochain.
Next test. How high can we get this block rate?
Steadfast Shield - 539 Skill - ItemLevel 105
Code
Summary
Total hits:1581
Blocked:931
Non-blocked:650
Block% 58.88%
AVG Blocked DMG:14.05
AVG non-Blocked DMG:
Block DMG%- -81.5%
Total Block DMG reduction --47.9%*
*this value is before the PDT on the shield itself. As this is the block DMG- value purely
Unfortunately, I'm lacking a lot of the newer(using that word generously) shield skill+ gear. And I forgot a piece of what I do have. So this test is on +43 skill over the last one.
Even so, gained another 10% block rate from +43 skill. 58.88% block rate. I probably should have done a test on low level mobs, to see how high I could push block rate, and check if it caps. But I didn't think about it at the time. Maybe after this stuff hits the real servers.
The logical next step is to test a Killedar shield. +215 skill.... I wanna see where that puts block rate. Perhaps it'll hit the cap for size three on these mobs..

If anyone wants to bring a Killedar shield to the test server for me... XD If not I may get one eventually, but ppl seem to be hoarding Gabranth horns atm. Or overpricing them.
