Shield bash damage only increases from your shields innate block chance, not block chance increased by skills or items. I.e. I have a lidless wall that has 20b I get that base block chance unless the shield itself has a %b on it. because %b on a shield raises the shields Vanilla %b(which is all that matter in damage calculation.)
I am Spanish, and my English is only average, so I am not sure what the exact words would fit better... When I started with the mannercookie fire shield bash build (just when Roland set became bis), I tried all the skills, items and passives I could think that improves block chance, and they didn't raise my dps, so I thought the shield is the only item related with the 300% part of the damage...

I wanted to know if Punish Regen skill and Provoke with the 50% Block rune buff the effects of Shield Bash on the Shield Block damage??
Can I get some assistance here?
AFAIK from personal testing, yes, since SB pulls from your sheet block chance, which those skills increase.
Just test out your normal damage and compare it to when you pop iron skin w/ the block chance rune.
The description of the SB is very clear: 700% weapon damage plus 300% of your shield Block Chance.
So, max value is 20 natural block chance (Piro Marella) + 11% enhanced block chance roll = 31% block chance.
The base final top SB damage is 700 + 3 * 31 = 793.

Hope that helps to clarify.
