Eso - Block Cost Calculator


Ok so many people say how much does it cost and how to i bring it down to nothing at all well heres how.

UPDATE 2018
So with some changes to the new set up this calculation below now leaves me with 650 not 776

Ok so starting with 2160 thats the cost of blocking incoming attacks

2160
Now take away
1. (champion points) Shadow Ward %
= X now take away 
2. (found in traits armor) Sturdy % 
= X now take away 
3. (From Skill lines eg S&B is 36%) Passives % 
= X now take away
4. Enchants (on jewelry) Flat value subtract this number
5. Skills %
=

So this is how it works starting with the value of block cost and then remove Ward as a percentage then take that number and remove sturdy take that number remove the passives and then enchants as a basic number then remove skills gets you the final cost. Dont use both Study and Ward or a mix of both its best to play just one they dont stack or anything and you can get 28% with sturdy but you cant then get impen and play Pvp and some armor does not come in sturdy so best to try play from Ward and then use Impen or infused divines what ever you like to add to the build for a Tank

Ok so for me its..

2160 -
Shadow Ward  23% thats 496
= 1664
Sturdy  3% thats 49
Passives 36%
= 1034
Enchants  191 (Flat value) 1 single enchant for block cost
843
Skills  8 %
776

= 776 cost of stamina to block while on my dk tank


This is my cost that i run i have just one enchant for block cost just now the others are magic regen and magic cost reduction i could swap out another enchantment and have it come down closer to 600 but im fine so far with my build i could run block cost on everything and drag it down to like 400 but really im no arsed lol.

Any ways heres some help for your build work out how much you spend and where and try Tank better.
