But you will still suck pretty hardcore in pvp vs paladins that charge, amazons, and barbs if they can name lock you. No point in creating a character for just pve. Get the block and you will have some fun in pvp as well.

At level 90, my sorc has 229 dext for max block with a stormshield. There are other shields you can use that require far less dext for block, but I wanted to try this out... though she is a bmana build... Don't relaly have those anymore but mana pots work just as well ^.^

Trust me, it's fun.
