From this thread/ticket: #14231: Ref: ##14225

“PS: You'd better make that something like 2 attempts within a minute.”

Something like that: 

Auto-ban Repeat Offenders

Block after 2 attacks, in 1 minute

Block for this long: 60 days

This is better than just add/block IPs? And What about blocking based on bad words—too many words are going to  slow down my site?

Yes. But with a lower blocking period. I'd use 30 minutes instead of 60 days. You'll see that's more than enough.
