This issue has been present since launch, and most of us thought "oh, it must be my mouse, my connection, or something else specific to me", but this is NOT the case, and we are quickly learning that the issue affects ALL mac users.

summary of the problem:
"I have an issue with blocking. If I block and have a buff such as thundering prescence or the spiked armor from DK, on me, the block will drop/end when the buff ends. This results in by blocking being interrupted even when I keep the RMB pressed. This makes it impossible for me to tank or pvp effectively.
I’m suspecting it is a OSX bug, since no one I ask has encountered it. I also played my character on a windows pc and there I do not have this problem.
So my question is: Do any other mac users have this bug as well?"
and
"Yeah, exact same issue on Templar only when playing on a Mac.
Block drops all the time. It drops with your own skills and with enemies skills.
Been trying to find a solution but no luck."
Re-posting in customer support, because everyone else's posts are either being ignored by the Dev's or they're not in the right forum.
Can a Developer PLEASE give some insight into this? Preferably, give us some sort of timeline for a fix, or a temporary workaround for now. At the very least, ACKNOWLEDGE that you know that this is an issue that affects a large portion of your population.
