Nature's Shield

Has anyone done any testing to show if any particular stats affected the chance to block arrows?
I'm seeing alot of newer templates taking advantage of champ levels and putting dex/acuity onto their sword+shield. Alot of people ignored these stats to begin with, but I currently have approximately 70dex/60int and I'm concerned that by dropping these my ability to soak arrows may be impaired.
Logs would be appreciated, but personal experience is good too.

natures shield will block all arrows infront of you no matter dex
use shield/sword slots for casting bonuses imo, im doubting they will have much effect at all in RvR

actually since the 100% block rate nerf a couple of patches ago VW's aren't as immune to arrows as they used to be, i remember sitting at old alb miles gate in Emain and having 6-8 scouts all assisting on me and not being hit. before i deleted my vales i had noticed that i was getting hit by arrows alot more frequently.
(edit) still got my celt VW on pendragon, he's 3L9 there i think if you got a buffbot and an archer i'll be happy to help you test.

Attacker count seems to negatively effect ability to block arrows, and I generally feel that dex helps against multiple attackers. Just curious if anyone had actually tested it.

From my very subjective experience I would agree with you that multiple attackers seem to be able to more easily penetrate our Nature's Shield. In fact, I hardly ever get hit by an arrow from a single archer but I've lately "fraps'ed" my Valewalker standing in the middle of the archers' crossfire and getting hit like 3 or 4 times in a relatively short period of time. Dunno if dex helps, though.

My VW is in Leirvik ATM and I see ALOT of archers I don’t have logs but it seem that once I get NS up I block better than 90% of arrow shot at me. last night I had 5 hunters assisting on me some rapid firing and I was hit only 1 once in the first few shots and not again after that it really seems to depend on lag IMO some times I get it up before the second shot times I will get hit 2 or 3 time before it starts working but I think that just lag.

"hey nerfed vws in a patch?! gd mythic"
vws were not ment to be targeted, it was targeting scouts that had the ability to spec 50 shield and the super high dex was giving them insane block rates vs arrows so they capped the % and natures shield seems to be affected by that, it isnt bad tho i havnt seen any testing about the dex or multiple attackers idea and i really didnt notice anything like that so i have no idea

You get the bonuses just by having them equipped, even if you have a scythe out?

Nope. People switch to S/S to cast.

I used to run around w/ 30dex on my template and seemed to block 100% of arrows from 2-3 scouts at a time.. EXCEPT for those arrows with the poison on them. So from my experience, dex doesn't seem to make a difference.
