How much dex for max block

I'm pretty sure you mean Eth bugged Exile since Vortex is a type of shield Anyway if you can, get your planned level before putting out dex for block Try 90 if you don't have a planned "finishing level". I might also add that Sacred Targe has the best blockchance of all elite palashields.

I might be very wrong. However, somewhat lower for an ST eth exile. Another new mechanic to the blocking system is the shield's Block Amount, a value that is also static though the amount blocked depends on that of the shield itself, with Legendary shields blocking more damage. Each blocked attack deducts a random number within the Block Amount's range from the unsaved damage taken.

None of the Nephalem's core attributes have an effect on either blocking values. Some skills, however, may further modify either of these values, or grant a special effect that occurs when an attack is blocked for instance, Punish , Hold Your Ground , Renewal or Sword and Board. In the case of the Crusader's Shield Bash or Blessed Shield skills, a shield's Block chance also directly increases damage dealt.

Any and all damage that comes from a Damage Over Time source cannot be blocked by shields, making it useful against Block-oriented monsters, such as Primordial Scavengers , but also making the player vulnerable to such damage even if they have a character who is dedicated to making the most out of maxed-out Block chances. Blood Brother sword utilizes a block mechanic, even if no shield is taken, or, if coupled with a shield, boosts both its own and shield Blocks.

Some items, like Akarat's Awakening , Justice Lantern , Ivory Tower or Coven's Criterion , add special effects on a successful block, or improve functionality of blocks. Diablo Wiki Explore.

But I got dex needed with an exile. That was based that it was 1 big fraction with [Blocking x Dexterity — 15 ] in the numerator and Character Level x 2 in the denominator.
