'''Block value''' is number typically appearing on [[shield]]s that sets the amount of damage absorbed when you [[block]] an attack. Some [[abilities]], [[enchantment]]s, [[item]]s and [[spell]]s can contribute bonus block value also. As a stat it appears as "X Block" as the base value on shields, "Increases the block value of your shield by X" as a bonus on shields or a stat on another type of item, and "X additional block value" as an enchant. The block value is increased by one for two points of strength.

Block value will be removed as a stat in the upcoming [[Cataclysm]] expansion. Instead, blocks will simply mitigate a certain percent of damage. How the percentage will be determined has yet to be explained in detail.

Block value is number typically appearing on shields that sets the amount of damage absorbed when you block an attack. Some abilities, enchantments, items and spells can contribute bonus block value also. As a stat it appears as "X Block" as the base value on shields, "Increases the block value of your shield by X" as a bonus on shields or a stat on another type of item, and "X additional block value" as an enchant. The block value is increased by one for two points of strength.

Sometimes this number is confused with "block rating", which increases a player's chance to block.
