You should never rely on your Blocks they are to predictable to base your strats around... always get good defence on oyur shield and then work on the Br... with a good defence you dont need the high brs 16+ is good with 50%+ stats.

A high def makes a good different..It lowers the damage alot. I would still go for the BR although I believe its all luck (like a 12 BR blocks more often than a 15 BR)

+1. A good pvp'er shouldn't rely on blocks to save his skin. He should plan on victory without blocks, then when he blocks, it's a nice little bonus :)
