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%.

Well, here is a combatlog filtered for my "interaction" with Maiden:
http://www.lossendil.com/wws/?report...=1&fih=2&fih=4
Look at the following lines:
05:15'21.084 Ithnan gains Shield Block
05:15'22.795 Maiden of Virtue's Melee hits Ithnan for 1729 (259 blocked)
05:15'24.790 Maiden of Virtue's Melee hits Ithnan for 3248 (crushing)
05:15'26.769 Maiden of Virtue's Melee hits Ithnan for 1692 (259 blocked)
05:15'26.325 Ithnan gains Shield Block
This can not be dismissed as the latency issues. Also this is a slow hitting mob (every 2sec), not DW, and I do have Imp Shield Block.
I will try to search my combatlogs for more crushing evidence, from other bosses, but is it possible the previous assumption of the single attack roll can be incorrect?
