@Hun Kingq - I'd just like to point out that there is a cap on the block rate, and that cap is currently 40%, this is for all classes, though Shadow Arts does stack on top of that, for a max of 50% for CH/BH's. If you look at the way that the block rate is: Block Chance = 10% + (Defender's Dexterity - Attacker's Dexterity) / 2 - so unless someone has a lot of Dex, and/or you have very low Dex, then that 40% cap is very hard to reach!
Since people can use guns, aux and un-blockable skills, then the block rate being quite high to Hunters is not as useful as it may seem, but it can cause the deciding block. Bare in mind if you have a Hunter with high Dex, they will lack in other areas, whether that's Tech, STR, Sup, Energy or HP - they will lose those points somewhere.
Bottom line is, the block rate almost every single match you will be in, will be below 50% - therefore you'll most probably have more chance to hit, than to be blocked. Other people are doing fine as Blood Mage's, I tried Blood Mage for a while on one of my alts, and did very well in fact. I find it's all about finding the right build! If you're waiting for the retrain update to retrain, then fair enough - but don't complain until then, because a lot of other BM's are doing fine!
