I have often seen it bounce a couple of times between two targets.
Needless to say I ADORE bosses that spawn some trash, especially if the trash is tough.
ive said it before. but people tend to no actually read what they are surpposed to. but it only benefits from your shields block chance not ur entire block chance. and the spell clearly states that aswell.
I have a great respect for your reading-skills.
In this case however 'actual testing' >>> reading.
Nevertheless this only works on the initial hit, the Shattered Shield for example does 170% weapon damage and adds nothing for your blockchance.
To make it short with some napkin-math: I am at 45% without the extra block and at 56% with the extra block.
Assuming 1000 weapon damage, that would give me:
Without block: 4300 + 1125 = 5425 damage
With 11 block: 4300 + 1400 = 5700 damage
I also have 400% crit-damage with 40% crit.That means my average attack does 220% damage.With 10% more crit that goes up to 250% damage.
So without extra crit or block the average Blessed Shield does: 220% * 5425 = 11935 damage.
With the additional crit the average Shield does: 250% * 5425 = 13562.5 damage.
Without the crit, but with more block it becomes: 220% * 5700 = 12540 damage.
I probably made a mistake and don't hate me for it.
But it comes down to this: 10% crit > 11% block for just Blessed Shield.
And that is if we ignore every other attack that doesn't benefit from block-chance at all!
Sanguary Vambraces - Chance on being hit to deal 1000% of your thorns damage to nearby enemies.
Not sure about that one. Even with 20k thorns this is only 200k damage, not really that much.
With the expensive shield I would prefer Reaper's Wraps. More shields, more damage, more movement!

It "becomes" a problem when you are out of wrath and you start auto-attacking.
Blessed Shield uses your total block-chance, btw.

A bug caused it to scale with difficulty, making it overpowered. They fixed the bug but not the tooltip.

I'm rocking with that build and I do not even have the correct shield.
My profile:http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/kangodo-2115/hero/38492011
It's not perfect, not even extremely good, but I enjoy myself even though I am unlucky with drops.
The best advice I can give at this moment comes down to two things:
-Blessed Shield is awesome and you have the shield.
-Try to "reforge"!
Okay, a third one: In my opinion you have too much toughness.
