The exact formula is [ (2 * All blocking % added up * (Dex - 15)) / (Level * 5) ]
An example: Say I am a lvl 50 char with 75 dex. I have a shield that has 50 base chance to blacok, and a mod on the shield that adds a "+10% chance to block. I have enough points into holy shield to give an extra 25% to blocking. Theirfore .....
= [ ( 2 * (50+10+25) * (75-15)) / (50*5) ]
= (2 * 85 * 60) / 250
= 10200 / 250
= 40.8 % chance to block
This final number can never be over 75 and never be under 5. Theirfore, the more points into holy shield the less you need into dex in order to reach the 75% cap.
