1. Weird Block Rating bug?

    Hi, so I just got a new shield on my prot pally on Icecrown, and I immediately noticed something weird when I put it on. My block percentage was a bit lower, despite being a far better shield. My block rating went from 13.34% to 11.44%... and I thought that was really weird.

    It got even weirder when I scrolled over my Block Chance, and noticed it said: Block Rating of 0 adds 0.00% Block". So, my shield doesn't seem to be giving any block rating? I don't know if this is a visual glitch or not?

    Here is a visual example: https://i.gyazo.com/b7e7f32672252afc...6865270e6c.png
    The shield in question is Icecrown Glacial Wall (Normal Version), my old shield was Bulwark of Algalon... I was so happy I got my shield, I sold my Bulwark of Algalon... but now it seems like my new shield doesn't seem to be working.

    What's up with this? Is it a visual bug? Should I be legitimately concerned?

  2. Greetings

    Block value=/= Block rating. Block value decreases dmg and doesn't increase your block rating.

    Icecrown Glacial Wall

    And for the next time, show shield enabled and disabled, and the tooltip of the shield instead of a extremly sliced pic. Ppl don't help you otherwise, when they have to "google" everything

    Regards
