You would need 10 reckless defense jewels to make up for the lost block of the chest.

This might just be better for evasion/armor.

You just need 110% block, pretty easy to get with some Reckless Defenses + Legacy Anvil (and juggernaut remove anvil drawback).

Brb theorycrafting a Full Block Aegis BM Iron Will juggernaut caster with infinite Avenger flasks.

Also I wonder if the block penalty is additive or multiplicative with the ones the opponent gets. If it's additive it means an up to 96% reduced block chance.

interesting indeed, BCR cleary state "enemy block chance" so it may be a different mod but who knows, testing as to be done...

My best guess is that it will be multiplicative. Deceiver has the same mod, and it doesn't reduce the block cap, so if you reach the cap it's effect is nullified. Its like the difference between Elemental weakness and Resist Penetration.

E: So CI Aegis is possible, but again Vortex, EA, Bear trap, SRS, HoT will shit on it still :P

The thing about that armor is, just because it exists it will shift a lot of peoples build directions. Those that jump ship at the sight of being slightly less free to play will focus less on crit and more on the threat of someone using this chest. A lot of people wont even need to swap to it, just the threat that it could already be on them will have people re-working their entire character approach.

People that make claims they'll re-spec mid match to EO and stuff to counter this are pipe-dreaming. You won't know if they are using it or not, MTX make identifying what people wear nearly impossible. Since Death's Door and Blood Grip most people abandoned bleed builds. Only people that get that effect as a bonus on their weapon and don't completely rely on it keep it around. While building a crit character is all in, it's not something you just switch off and on. Up until now crit caster builds didn't have to think about what they were facing or building against...mostly. It was just queue, attack...blow shit up instantly. Attack based crit builds had to sort of...sort of think about the possibility of blind+enfeeble+evasion stacking but still most people just did as casters do. Queued...held attack, no fucks given. Now you have to think and this is what melee (that won) has been doing all these years.

Also yes until secondary damages are fixed, that's still problem #1 in PvP.

Trolls just got more trolly though. You needed crit to down most of them now they'll slap this on even if they are ES trolls and still be annoyingly lame. Dismantle will likely pop back up queue once he gets one of these.

As long as Frost Bomb exist, troll regen builds will never been able to do shit anymore. And if regen is your only defense source, sacrificing your chest to wear this one would put a massive toll on your total health pool + regen.

Well yes and no. Frost bomb doesn't win the match alone. Between Aegis, the left over regen, concentrated ground, es recharge even when damaged and other mechanics. Trolls are very much alive when crit isn't a deciding factor.

Nah frostbomb and degens will best those cunts 99% of the time

Agree, none of my latest builds are crit base(only mirror legacy crit mult are worth it today if you go that way) and there is no one I couldn't get with FB and some spacing.

My theorycrafted full tank Zerphi build might be able to profit a lot with this because most of the stuff that is able to oneshot it is crit. If they adjust the secondary damage skills it can be immortal against anything.
