*SIGH* That's exactly what I said
"50% of the time you reduce the incoming damage of a hit by 340"
50% of 340 is 170. You essentially reduce incoming damage by 170
I'll just quote the most widely played video game here for as an explanation

If my info on the block animation is wrong I'm sorry because my battle cleric has 66% block rate and the block does not appear nearly that much.
The Block Rate percentage does not modify your Block Physical/Magical at all, it is only the chance you have to apply your Block Physical/Magical against incoming damage.
Example:
Attacker hits you for 1000 damage.
You have a 50% chance to block the attack, and 340 Block Physical.
If you succeed at blocking the attack, incoming damage is reduced to 660 (1000 - 340).
If you fail at blocking the attack, incoming damage remains at 1000.
