#65 Block value doesn't match BV from str + shield BV

Status: Seen · Area: Items & Loot · Weapons & Armor

Character block value is lower than strength bonus plus shield block value, apparently off by at least one.

Current behavior

I'm hoping its just an off by 1 and not a bigger miscalculation that scales with more str/BV. I've currently got 76 str which yields +3 bv, so 20:1 str:bv like classic. I've got a shield with 10 Block Value. One would assume this results in 13 BV but I've got 12 in the character sheet and 12 is the max i've seen when blocking. I double checked naked and still had this issue, so its not missing the STR from gear.

Expected behavior

I would expect bvFromStr + bvFromShield = totalBV.

How to reproduce

Not much for this one. I guess 
1. Create a warrior
2. Equip some str gear
3. Equip a shield
4. Read the character sheet for Block, Str, and shield tooltip
5. Confirm the incorrect BV is actually what happens against a mob.
