I think the block chance is not working

torchlight-2

So with my shield equipped and 96 Vitality, the arcane statistics panel states that I have 48% block chance. However I have not experienced any damage being blocked at all. If I'm not wrong there should be an orange word named "Blocked!" when damage is blocked but I don't recall ever seeing such a word on my character when fighting. Is there a bug that is causing me not to block damage?

In summary, details like "Blocked!" are not visible unless you enter the TL2 Options menu and turn damage indicators onto "verbose" mode.
