Critical Block not working?

I think there may be a problem here. I have 110% critical block against all schools. Till now there has never been a time when I have not blocked a critical spell. At a 110% why would there be?

I was fighting Karl Thriceborn tonight and he casted a ice kraken at me. It went critical, and I did not block it. Why? Is this a bug? With a 110% ice (and all school) critical blocks there should not be a time I do not block, am I correct? Funny though each time I went critical while battling him, he had no problem blocking my critical spells. lol Go Figure.

Thanks,

Critical and Block Statistics
The Critical and Block system is an addition to the existing dueling system that allows players to perform Critical Hits on opponents and avoid incoming Critical Hits. This will give players new strategies and defenses in combat and new ways to further build up their Wizard!

You'll notice your character sheet has changed a little. Press C to see a panel like this one.

The two new stats being added to the game are called Critical Hit Rating and Block Rating
Critical Hit Rating increase the player's chance of getting a critical hit.
Block Rating increases the player's chance of avoiding incoming critical hits.
Players will gain Critical Hit and Block bonuses from equipment.

The chance for a critical hit or a block is calculated AFTER fizzle and accuracy. When a spell fizzles no calculation for critical hit or block is made.
Charms, Enchantments, Wards, Manipulations and Globals are not subject to the Block / Critical system. Heals cannot be Blocked, but they can Critical!

You will also notice with these Critical and Block Statistics, that the Combat Rating System displays as a numeric value and not a percentage.
Equipment will have values of "+14 Block Rating" as opposed to the "+1% Block" style of statistic you are accustomed to seeing.
All gotten from the updates notes. (I don't think it is copyright if i post it on the same website.)

There is no way to achieve 110% critical block.

You can, however, achieve a 110 critical block rating (out of something like 500 total).

Two very different stats. Relook your character sheet in your wizard book.
