The way I see it, combining so many blocking types and resistance types seems very inefficient, since most of the effects will be lost. How many monsters attack with both fire and light? Meanwhile, the increased blocking makes the resistance worth less. The whole concept of blocking in AQ seems unlikely even at 250 DEX so I never care for MRM gear and use Goggernaut Helm liberally instead of the popular Sword Master Emblem. The most challenging bosses usually require extreme elemental tanking instead. Even if raw blocking were as effective as resistance on average, the lack of consistency makes it dangerous to use. This is why pro Pokemon players now prefer 80 power/100% accurate moves over 120 power/70% accurate moves (84 power average). It's all about consistency.
Similarly, I believe the Horo-Show Void Visor (94 SP/turn) is inferior to it's regular counterpart (59 SP/turn). 45 END and 4 blocking for 35 SP/turn is not worth it. Both stats are nearly useless. Compare to B.L.I.T.Z.E.N. (75 SP/turn) which is cheaper, comes with 50 DEX, can swap to energy resistance, and provides increased damage in mecha armors. The 50 DEX alone provides 6.25 blocking. BLITZEN is noticeably superior and it's not even mastercrafted.
I don't post often on the forums but this game has been horribly balanced pretty much forever so the fact that the GBI forum even exists is a little disturbing (considering the state of the game. My guess is you're too busy with weekly releases. Gotta keep up the status quo eh?).
