Sorceress blocking%

[adeyke]

I have a better idea, take one of the many many rare gems you find every day that hapen to have freedom as one of the aplies, and search through them until you find one with +dex on it, ror some other needed boost. those 6-7 points (aprox) that mark the difference between the 20% from hel and the 15% from freedom might jsut be better off with the nice equipment.

Hel is only -20% in weapons. In armour, it's -15%. So the only real drawback of using a freedom jewel with another affix would be availability; otherwise, it could be strictly superior.

and don't give me the reply about getting the stats you need fo your eq, from your eq, your not going to need the dex for blocking unless your using the shield.

I don't really get what you're saying. The self-strength-tiering thing would just mean that you can use Stormshield with 30 less strength than is listed as its requirement, provided you first wear something to give you those 30 strength.
