- Kite shields now block with the same effectiveness as tower shields. Hurray indeed. A step in the right direction for sure.

If you Read some of the other Test updates Prior to that, Towers are 20% Kites Were 19%... a 1% difference won't really matter much

On the surface this is great, but I still dont think binding block percentage to shields is the best solution. Personally I think they should:

1) Make block a skill, driven on class/level. This would permit turning classes more effectively.

2) Change Shield Factor to AC. As much as I hate saying this, there really has to be a difference between the two and AC difference makes sense.

3) Permit Clerics to use Kites, Chain to use Rounds. Again, combined with 1 and 2 would help deal with some issues those classes are going to have with the new update.

This system would let them have a base to work with for 'risk/reward' on epic drops that would have higher AC -AND- could have a 'plus block' component. Obviously it would need to be combined with:

1) Dodge (base) a skill on a class/level table instead of generalized.

2) AGI to Dodge boost on a class/level table instead of generalized.
