Shield rune for tanking

Many "good" tanks enchant defense to reach cool looking 10k def without any buff. But little did they know is that it adds only 1%-1.5% defense to them. So definitely +3% is block better and stay 9.5k def.

For defense around 6-7k, it could be worth it, because enchant would add around 2.5%, but I'd still go for block because at higher level damage  from bosses becomes 500+, better have more chance to block it all, than to reduce by 10. Also not forget it helps against magic damage.

How about this level of defence, I m currently using block rune and im at 5,3k(6,2 if I put on the Eye of darkness-1/4 active for 14 secs with 18 sec cooldown). Would it be worth it to switch to def rune?

You have a block armor, you can capitalize on block. Enchant belt with block as well.

Are you leveling blessing? If yes then I think you can make a good 20% block build. But I don't know if it is an effective build for Charmers, since they aren't really tanks. You can ask this pro +200IQ in the game player @nabnecro

By tanking I mean soloing bosses such as bg because I like to play by myself :biggrin:

 

To get that much block I would have to get block rings wouldnt I?

That would mean my magic would go down which wouldnt be worth it I think.

 

Sadly I dont have blessing yet, I bought bird, eye of darkness and knowledge of dead man but im thinking about spending some money on 400 mccoins to get a slot for it :smile: Would it be worth it at 1/4?

Both are equally good. If you are the type of person who don't mind relying on luck, choose block. If you are the type of person who wants stability on everything you do, choose defense rune.

Don't forget max block is 20%, so if you have otherwordly blessing on 4 maybe you don't need block rune.

 

Edit: If you will use your charmer for PVE tanking, use block rune.

Edit2: Yes otherwordlyblessing is already useful on level 1 because it also heals you a little.
