Attack table, 100% block and you

I can’t say that I have followed these forums for a long time and with that said I can’t be 100% sure I’ve posted this right or if there already is a topic discussing the matter.

Take a look at the following combat log:

3/16 00:33:01.546  You gain 10 Rage from Bloodrage.
3/16 00:33:01.750  You gain Bloodrage.
3/16 00:33:02.328  You gain 1 Rage from Bloodrage.
3/16 00:33:02.906  You gain Shield Block.
3/16 00:33:03.343  You gain 1 Rage from Bloodrage.
3/16 00:33:04.437  You crit Windyreed Wretch for 279.
3/16 00:33:04.437  You gain 1 Rage from Bloodrage.
3/16 00:33:04.671  Windyreed Wretch attacks. You dodge.
3/16 00:33:05.343  You gain 1 Rage from Bloodrage.
3/16 00:33:06.109  You hit Windyreed Wretch for 157.
3/16 00:33:06.437  You gain 1 Rage from Bloodrage.
3/16 00:33:06.703  Windyreed Wretch attacks. You dodge.
3/16 00:33:06.968  Windyreed Wretch 's Disease Touch hits you for 62 Shadow damage.
3/16 00:33:07.421  You gain 1 Rage from Bloodrage.
3/16 00:33:07.671  You hit Windyreed Wretch for 142.
3/16 00:33:08.500  You gain 1 Rage from Bloodrage.
3/16 00:33:08.859  Shield Block fades from you.

This combat log was maid vs lvl 64 mob in nagrand with 25.02% block, 17.35% dodge and 17.73% parry. And add to that shield block (+75%block) then I end up with 100.02% block.

So I’am asking you for you opinion about this either wow prioritizes dodge/parry over block. Or the tables are working another way.

yes parry/dodge is prioritized.

Which is intuative as 100% avoiding an attack is preferred over taking 200 off a 3k hit.

Thank you for the quick replay and sorry to bothered you with my stupidity.

It's hardly stupid to want to know the true mechanics of something.

As a helping hand though there is a class mechanics and theory crafting board and there is quite a decent thread about tanking stats and how they work which you can find here: [Warrior] MT itemization theory

Hopefully it will answer any other questions you have.
