The combat log parse could have exhibit client/server latency issues. The crushing came WAY too close to the timestamp where shield block buff faded.

Does anyone with a native block chance of < 25 % have a combatlog where a crushing comes directly (read: 3 sec at most) after activating shield block?
THAT would be way more enlightening.
E.g having just 15% block chance (or lower) would leave a "hole" of 10% chance to be critted/crushed (Im not asuming crit immunity here, as I want to get the native block chance as low as possible) even with shield block active.

Should be not to difficult to find such a combatlog.

But I myself never witnessed such an event happening. Therefore I conclude *for myself* that active shield block eliminates crits/crushings when total avoidance+mitigation rate (i.e. miss+parry+dodge+native block) eclipses 25%.
