Should You Use Steel Protection Gems?

Only Useful for Specific Situations

Steel Protection can be used effectively with certain Defender classes, such as the Heavy Guard , however, increasing a character's Block Rate can be effectively achieved by using certain Arts and Accessories. As such it is better to save your open Gem slot for something else.
