This talent is highly important for an endgame tanking Warrior. According to combat parsing, it's been more or less proven that achieving very high block rates pushes [[crushing blow]]s off of the combat table. (See [http://evilempireguild.org/guides/crushblock.php].) And this talent effectively doubles the number of hits that will be [[block]]ed. Spamming [[Shield Block]] with this talent means that almost all attacks will be [[miss]]es, [[dodge]]s, [[parry|parries]], or blocks, except with very low [[attack speed]] mobs. |

According to combat parsing, it's been more or less proven that achieving very high block rates pushes crushing blows off of the combat table. (See [1].)
