I acclimated to play block builds in actuality a bit and was afraid at the nerfs to Spell Block (and, indirectly, Block). I ran some numbers with the assorted uniques and came up with this Path of exile goods information.

In adjustment to hit Best Spell Block, the afterward items and timberline pathing are required. I put down a few arena rules for this exercise:

- Low Activity is not affected because a lot of block builds aren't Low Activity builds in my experience.

- All items are affected to accept best rolls.

- The Witch's Spell Block caster is not taken in the tree. This is because it is so far from any added block nodes in the timberline (attack or spell block) that accepting there is a pathing nightmare. Begat can do it, but it even stretches that build.

- No flasks. This is for abiding uptime and not accepting to spam arresting flasks.

- Application a agents for spell block and that caster is mathematically an abominable abstraction if it comes to both advance and spell block. You lose admission to all of the added nodes on the timberline additional the absorber slot.

Tree Spell Block Available (Shadow and Templar area):

- 13% Spell Block

Unique Account Spell Block Values:

- Rock of Lazhwar (Neck): 15%

- Rathpith Globe (Shield): 15%

- Rainbowstride (Boots): 6%

- Craiceann's Chitin (Head): 6%

- Reckless Aegis (Jewel): 4% x 5 Jewels = 20%

- Appropriate Note: Shaper Bouncer can alter Rathpith if you get a acceptable cycle and get up to 24% Spell Block. This will abate your Reckless Aegis claim by 2 jewels (or acquiesce you to abolish Rainbowstride or Craiceann's Chitin and a Reckless Aegis jewel).

This gets you to 75% Spell Block exactly. That costs you a lot of passives in pathing, four altered account slots, and 5 jewels. Not application Rathpith Globe or the Rock of Lazhwar is appealing abundant traveling to bulk you a ton of jewel slots for added Reckless Aegis jewels and accomplish you be hit with analytical strikes constantly. Those two items are around bulk for Spell Block builds now.

Plus we haven't even talked about advance block! Actuality are the numbers you get out of these items and nodes:

- Tree: 7%

- Rathpith Globe: 25%

- Reckless Defence x 4: 16%

That gives you 48% Advance Block. That agency you charge to angle out 28% added advance block. This is in actuality appealing simple to do on the timberline if you beat through the Duelist area.

In summary, if you ambition a max block actualization that doesn't await on accepting a Gladiator, you're apparently traveling to ache a lot for that choice.
