Um, well, if I'm fighting Ninjas, I'd get Block Rate, and if I was fighting Vikings I'd want Block Strength.
I'd get Block Strength overall though.

Like, if Block Strength was increased by 5% and Block Rate was increased by 30%? Block Rate, that 5% is meaningless unless you have a really, really high number there, which it wouldn't matter about block strength then.

and I'm assuming vice-versa? Oh, then I'd look at the base stats and make a decision from there.
When speed is decreased slightly, it's okay, but when it's heavily decreased, it is a problem, where you won't be able to protect a few hits between blocks. I'd say Block rate.

equally important if you have a block rate of 80% but only takes 5% damage then it wont work well on the other hand if you have block strength of 60% but only 10% block rate it also wont work well
