Block rating is number typically appearing on items that improves your chance to block an attack. Some abilities, enchantments, items and spells can contribute bonus block rating also (the bonus spell usually has the name "Improved Blocking" or "Increased Block X").

At level 80, players require 16.4 block rating to gain 1% block chance. Block chance can also be increased through defense rating, of which 122.4 rating is needed for 24.88 defense to give 1% block chance.

Block rating is not to be confused with "block value" which increases the amount blocked each time a block occurs, rather than the chance for a block to occur.
