I Have a question regarding #5 in your response dawn. You say that all mages have no chance to block unless runed... I have a Block +15 sainting on my smoulder, and the bonus doesn't show in his base stats with runes/gear off... Does this apply even in situations where the sainting is for block on a mage? More simply put, would my smoulder be capable of blocking even tho he doesnt have a rune on? Or would I have to use a block rune to be able to take advantage of that sainting?
