Are these figures correct?

<DIV> <P><EM>- Shields now have the following base chances to Block: Tower (20%), Kite (19%), Round (5%), Buckler (3%). Your chances to Block scale up or down based on the con of your opponent.

<DIV>Holy cow, make them actually make sense? What were you thinking!!!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Wow if you dont make them that close then all the people that can only use a kite shield will have 400 cows and come invade the forums demanding them make them better or they will quit. So sony just skipped the invasion and made them the same.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thats why everyone is quitting this game in mass droves.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

No it doesn't make sense.  But then anyone that knows anything about RL armor knows that.  You have got to remember that this is a game and Sony has to keep as many people happy as possible.  If they made it a more realistic 30% or so and left the kite at 19% you would have tons of Pallies and SK's and anyone that might use kite shiields (not sure about other classes) in an uproar because now they couldn't tank as well and they would not be sought out in certain groups anymore.  Does it need to be more than 20% sure, but it wont be to keep the classes closer together.
