Blocking determines your chance to defend against physical melee and ranged attacks delivering physical damage. Unless specifically stated otherwise, it requires a Shield of any type to be equipped in order to work, naturally.
In addition to speed, each type of weapon has an inherent physical characteristic. For shields this is block value, meaning that any shield you find in Sanctuary is going to have block, in addition to any magical affixes it may have. As physical properties, these traits are consistent across all weapons of the same type and cannot be modified.
