Blocking Not Draining Stamina Against Ranged (non-magicka) Attacks

Came across this late last night, and thinking it may be tied to the War Horn bug, but with my testing buddy as a Sorc, we found he was able to block against DW Blade Cloak special (the thrown dagger proc) completely without draining stamina. So we testing Throw Dagger/morphs, and sure enough, he blocked that without taking any stamina/health loss.

Proceed to test this against a bow as well, and sure enough, Bow light and heavy attacks, as well as all bow abilities (Snipe/morphs, Poison Arrow/morphs, Scattershot/morphs, Arrow Spray/morphs, ) all did not drain any stamina/health while blocking.

We happened to be hanging around a dolmen as well, so we tested against PvE mobs, and sure enough, same issue.

Blocking against spells, melee attacks worked fine.

Anyone else able to replicate or notice this?

I'll be trying to replicate this again and will post updates on how we did it, if we did.

    There's another bug where a person I know was getting unlimited stamina. He was using sword and board on both hands. He said that his bash was super strong too.

    Hi Bull!

    He wasn't getting unlimited stamina, but maybe the two are related. There seems to be a few bugs that are causing multiple issues across the board.

    I wanted to think the same thing. It was late though, and we had just done a bunch of other testing. It was something we noticed offhandedly, and after all the testing we already did, we figured it would be hard to recreate if it was tied to the War Horn. Although I'll try and get another example done tonight. Hopefully this issue is just a random bug... if it goes to live though and someone finds a way to exploit it.... oh boi!
