Dude was trying to say Holy Shield eliminates crushing blows… it doesn’t in Classic. Only Warriors can do that consistently.
You really like to misconstrue my words. Please quote where I said “eliminates” and not “greatly reduces” please? I stated one several times, while you claim the other multiple times.
If you were to receive a Crushing Blow, that would trigger Redoubt for another 30% block. This makes your total block before Defense/Block % is added to be 60%. Yes, it’s a silly design to have to be receive a Critical Strike or Crushing Blow to activate Redoubt, but that is the developer’s design in Vanilla (probably why they changed it in BC)
Crushing Blows are only 150% of normal damage and only fights like Patchwerk would be slightly more scary. Again, if the 7.88% were to occur, you’d then be Crushing Blow immune for the next 10 seconds via Redoubt + Holy Shield + defensive stats.
