Block is removed yes and the user tools guide is made by yours truly :3 imo (as i also stated in my own guide(Comercial: feel free to look for it its in this section as well)) the full dex ranger is hell to aoe with due to way to much power and an awsome amount of crits (atleast once you push up into the 90's)
stuff simply dies to fast to gather...
however rangers block rate was never all that good in the first place due to rangers being the class gaining the lest block% per dex (exept vagrants)
however it is a great class none the less
