ICB does not apply to claw-block: Weapon Block. ICB adds to the class-dependent base Chance to Block of the shield equipped. ICB from equipment other than the shield is not added at the shield display, but it is used when calculating the character's Chance to Block. Chance to Block displayed on the shield is the sum of the shield's base Chance to Block, ICB on the shield, and ICB from Holy Shield when it is active. Chance to Block displayed on the shield is subject to a display cap of 75% (higher values are still used internally when calculating character's Chance to Block, viz, the value displayed when pointing the cursor at 'Defense' in the character screen: consult the Class main page for details). Skill Holy Shield applies min(10 + [30 * [(110*slvl) / (slvl+6)] / 100], 40)% Increased Chance of Blocking for 5+(25*slvl) seconds when cast.
