No dex trend

It's funny I've noticed a trend in the past few months when watching MCOC videos on Youtube, where you see more and more people not bothering to try and dex attacks/specials anymore. As long as the attack rating isn't too crazy it seems like people are just OK taking the block damage instead of risking a dex not registering and getting combo'd into OBLIVION.

I wonder if this had had a knock on effect where people have changed their masteries to add more points into Block Proficiency, Perfect Block and Stand Your Ground to account for this?

I always run max block prof and perfect block.

There are a lot of nodes and interactions that punish dex and parry I think people got used to taking block damage.

I had to take an AW Mojo with Apocalypse who I just assumed wouldn’t be an optimal counter. I’m not good at intercepting, so I forced a lot of heavies and dared not dex when anti-life field was about, and surprisingly I survived.

I’ll be willing to take a lot more blocks after that.

Max perfect block comes into play more often than you'd think
