Critical Block

So I'm trying to figure out why I don't block when the enemy goes critical. I used to do it kinda often, now it rarely happens. Under my stats, the critical block rating is 123 for all schools. Anyone have any idea what's going on? Thanks

the crit/block system was "updated" (and i use that term facetiously) when polaris was released, and our stats were nerfed.

if you hover over your block rating on the stat chart, it should tell you what the updated percentage is. if my 325 block is 49%, i'd imagine that your 123 block is around 20% (depending on your level, since block and crit now degrade as you level up).

I'm so not liking this update. Pursuing a high block rate is just a waste of time.

It's the broken new critical and block system that no one likes.

I think it's a ridiculous move. We have to face bosses that start off with 5 or 6 power pips, plus they often get to hit first with a crazy powerful card, plus they go critical to make it even worse and to top it all off, sometimes they cheat. The very least we should have is the critical block option. My critical block rating is currently at 16% despite the 123 in all the slots for the schools. Basically the option is useless.

Crit and Block always degraded as you leveled.
