Am I missing something? The way I read that, the ability block should always be inflicted when attacking Jedi, no matter what, so why does it occasionally not proc?
Is this just another badly worded description, ie: works 80% of the time, every time?

Yep
Read above
It states a 80% chance to inflict ability block. Why would it be 100%?
It's 100% to hit and if you trigger the 80% then it can't be resisted. Imagine it as 2 different rolls of the dice, first roll is the 80% to inflict and they don't get the second roll to resist.
That is literally the only thing Vader needs
Basics with detrimental effects tend to be lower damage for balance. I find the ability block far more useful than the damage.
If you want more damage out of Vader, use him as lead.
What is/was bugged is that for jedi the ability block was going thru the tenacity vs potency check and it should not do that.
Example even with Tenacity up on a jedi if RNG falls in the 80% to ability block it should apply and not be resisted.
It is still only an 80% chance to process regardless if the are a Jedi or not.
Jedi can't dodge it. Even with foresight. And as with other toons, even a dodge will still allow the secondary effects to occur. I mean, they just fixed qgj and his TM redux on a whiff.
Even as a lead it's bad, I have a 6 star Gear 10 Vader, its just too weak compared to others, he is slow, has to set up his big move and his basic is weak and it still can be resisted by Jedi
I think Poggles basic hits harder and he has ability block also
You can still dodge the actual attack, but the damage and ability block if it triggers are unavoidable
I have him at 6* max gear and some fairly middle of the road mods, and he's really quite good, particularly if he's leading an Empire team.
His basic doesn't hit hard, it's not if you can mod him up and makeit hit harder, so can every toon, it's base is so low, once you force choke, hope to get off the saber throw on who you want (stunned or taunt) he then isn't a threat
I have a 6 star gear 10 also and was using him also, he was always the weak link on any squad
