[BUG] Would be nice if blocking worked consistantly soon

Baphomet · April 2015

Ever so often, even though you are presing block with 90-100% stamina and your character is doing the blocking animation, certain abilities randomly ignores it completely.

Uppercut, crystal frags, destructive reach and bolt escape are especially "good" at ignoring blocking.

Now, this has been the case for what, two years now? At some points it have been working better than others, but it is really broken again now for some reason.

bolt escape is supposed to ignore block, or at least one of the morphs is.

The rest are not.

Poor game design or bad coding, and not enough bug reports is the reason they're here to stay..

that was streak and it got changed in 1.6 to be a blockable stun

none the less blocking quite often bugs out and doesent work at all even though your char is visibly blocking but it is doing this for ages.

Happens to me in both PvE and PvP.

I'm sick of it. the only block breaking ability in this game is fear. Lets keep it that way.

Yeah the wrecking blow one is really annoying. I think it's because the calculations for the outcome are done BEFORE the blade hits you, so if you don't block literally from the moment enemy starts casting the ability, it will be too late to block it.
