Have blocking rules changed in 1.10?

I recall from 1.09 that you had to spend 2 dex points per char level to maintain sucessfull blocking at the shield's rate.

I had a lvl 80 pally with a 60% blocking shield, and i spent 2 dex points per level. For a long stretch till around lvl 50 i think, he had 75% blocking. And then from the levels up to 80, the blocking percentage kept steadilly dropping down, DESPITE that i kept investing 2 dex points per level. I think it was around 60-65 at lvl 80.

The rule of thumb is more like five points every two levels, or alternate 2 points/3 points given to dex per level. This is how I remember it in 1.09, and so far it's held true for 1.10.
