Change the Flame Ward text to block node please (it seems misleading now)

[meesterg]

Dear EHG,

At the Flame Ward skill of Sorcerer there is a skill node named Glacial Reinforcements.
The text says it grants block. However i only see block effectivness being added above the text of this skill node.
It feels misleading to take the node since its not stating that it adds block effectiveness.
Could you change the text into the percent of block this nodes adds instead of the block effectiveness?

Or could you adjust the main text so it is clear that it will add block effectiveness instead of block itself? Now iam not sure what its adding. I thought block effectiveness ( a percentage of the block damage is mitigated. This percentage depends on how much Block Effectiveness you have) and block chance were seperate mechanics or am i wrong?

It would make a big difference to be able to get flat block chance instead of block effectivness. It also states under the node that it doesnt scale with a different added block node at the passive. Because of this i assume this node should give me added block percentage. Iam just not sure because the above line states i get +115 block effectivness.

Glacial Reinforcement adds a flat +10% Chance to Block, and a Scaling amount of Block Effectiveness. So the first point is all that’s needed to add the full amount of Block Chance, but every point thereafter adds more to the Block Effectiveness. While that doesn’t address that you were confused by the tooltip-text, it should help put to rest that the node does what it says.

The Tooltip text:
“Flame Ward grants additional block chance, block effectiveness, and ward on block while active.”
Block Effectiveness: +500 per Point
Ward Gained on Block: +5 per Point

Does not Scale with points allocated
Block Chance: +10%
