Questions about block mechanics

Hi @ll,

as this server uses a variety of patches for different classes, skills and mechanics (around 1.90 upto 1.121) and furthermore custom changes I have some questions regarding Block mechanics and what has been chosen for this server.

Patches
__________________________
1.87 January 11, 2007
Shield
- A character's chance to block will no longer be penalized when facing a character who is dual wielding.
__________________________
1.88 March 28, 2007
- The block rate for PvP combat has been capped at 75%.
__________________________
1.96 November 5, 2008
- Shield Block Cap has been lowered to 60%.
__________________________
1.109 April 27, 2011
- All players who are wielding two weapons will now reduce their target’s chance to block or evade by 25%

So my questions:
1. Is block Cap in PvP unlimited (pre 1.88), 75% (pre 1.96) or 60% (since 1.96) ?
2. Is there no penalty against Dual Wielders (1.88 to 1.108), 50% (pre 1.88) or 25% (since 1.109) penalty ?
3. Is the following formula to estimate block chance for classes that can specc shield correct for Eden ?

Base = 5 %
Skill Bonus = 0.5 * (shield spec + realm rank bonus + template bonus) %
Dex Bonus = 1 / 40 * ((dex * 2) - 100)%
Myth Bonus = Mythical block %
Realm Ability = Mastery of Blocking %

Total = Base + Skill Bonus + Dex Bonus + Myth Bonus + Realm Ability

THX for your time!
