Block Chance VS Mitigation
Everquest 2 level 95 Berserker here and I dont know what to use! Do I opt for Block Chance gear, Mitigation gear, or a mix of both? (if both: what is ideal?)
I am attempting to create a build that will benefit my team in high-end heroic and raid level dungeons, but I am not certain which of these stats will contribute more to my longevity, making the healers' job easier. If anyone could enlighten me on what is best, or perhaps the mathematical formula used to determine the outcome of these stats in damage calculation, I would very much appreciate it!

How much damage does block mitigate in Poe?
Block stops 100% of the damage when it activates, and stops physical and elemental attacks. Very good uniques (and at least one passive) exist that allow you to translate that to spell block, thus giving you, when properly scaled, a 75% chance of avoiding 90% of the damage types you encounter.How do you increase block chances?
The only way to improve your chance to block is to equip a higher quality shield, or to find items with an Affix that increases your chance to block.What is block rating?

Some abilities, enchantments, items and spells can contribute bonus block rating as well (the bonus spell usually has the name "Improved Blocking" or "Increased Block X").How do you increase block chance TBC?
The higher your Shields skill, the higher your Block chance will be. Magic Spells cannot be blocked, nor can magically charged Hunter shots. Some shields will have the effect "Block +1" or even higher. This means it increases your chance to perform a block.How To Trade Mitigation Block and Breaker
