Critical and Critical Block Rating

For some reason my critical and critical block rating hasn't really changed(has only gone up a few cause of new wand) but the percentage has seemed to only go down. For example, i have 298 block rating which a few days ago was around 30% and is now at 25% and i barely ever block now, i have 411 critical rating which was around 35-40% and its now at 25%. What is happening?

as you lvl up, your critical rate and block goes down and down, so its best to have more damage than critical

As you level up your critical and block rating decays as you are no longer using gear appropriate for your level, which is the current trap as the only pieces of 120 gear worth getting are the boots and rings for higher critical.

Block rating doesn't exist at end-game anymore and the only way to retain any form of consistent Block is by using your Rasputin amulet.

What you are experiencing is critical and critical block decay... Every time you level up past level 50, you lose a small percent of your crit/block. This is in place so you are encouraged to try to raise your rating as you level up.

Everyone I know hates the decay, but I understand why it is needed in the game, as you can't just expect your 300 block to be enough for the entirety of the game.

Grandfather Spider Athames also offer a decent amount of block, and I use them on all my characters.

just adding to this, lvl 100 was max, 100% critical was like 750, now lvl 120, 100% is over 1000..... 350+ of a difference thats roughly 30-40% you dont have

I just wanted to say that for level 100, 100% critical required 535 rating pre-Polaris.
For level 110, 100% critical requires 750 rating.
For level 120, 100% critical requires 795 rating.

It's pretty easy to gain that additional 45 rating with the Time Warden/Professor shoes and the Harrowing Nightmare Pack Guitars.

i just thought it was 1,000 because i've seen people run with 8-900 and people trying get to 1000
