I am wondering if I did my math wrong, but it seems that taking any block perks is unnecessary when using a one handed weapon blocker, as with out any of the shield wall perks you should hit 75% not counting in their weapon damage, and if they have a 20 damage weapon at base it does nothing?I used the following formula (from , but cheated with some algebra to avoid needing the enemies base weapon damage.   Blocked Damage Values Depending on Skill rather than Enemy Weapon Block Skill      Skill Modifier          % blocked   20                     1.3                            39%30                     1.45                         43.5%40                     1.6                           48%50                     1.75                         52.060                     1.9                           5770                     2.05                         61.580                     2.2                           6690                     2.35                         70.5100                   2.5                           75     Blocked Damage % = { 30 + 0.2 x EnemyWeaponBaseDamage x } x (1 + Shield Wall perk) x (1 + Enchantment#1 + Enchantment#2) x (1 + Potion) Here is how I did the math... = Skill modifier30 =  Base Block Value0.2 * Enemy Weapon base Value = Enemy ModifierTotals: 30 * Skill Modifier + (Enemy Modifier * Skill Modifier) =
