With a 75% block you'd get an effective life vs. blockable attacks of 3200.


.. and hope something in hell that swats for 67dmg+ doesn't send you into recovery perpetually on that other 25%.
Might as well start piling %DR now if this is the path one will take.

As opposed to the alternative, where it'd mean 93 damage. I do not see the difference there; only that with the blocking path 75% of the time you cannot get ito hit recovery - since you blocked. True, you're in blocking animation, but that is usually shorter (unless one uses "Lidless, the merc shield", that is ;))

And by the way, the best shield for a blocking sorceress is Storm, so there you go :)

The bigger issue here is, that you cannot block all attacks, and against these non-blockable attacks a higher life would be preferrable.
