Stamina usage while blocking is insane

2-3 seconds if not less and my bar is empty and that's it, no reserve for escape or to do much of anything.

yeah... block cost seems to have been increased.

You are also blocking a lot more skills which will trigger the cost more often. This is a work around to stop block casting. You need to time your blocks and choose what damage to eat.

While we need to make sure the increase isn't due to bugs etc, I'm really hoping the increase is intended to a certain degree. Block casting is ridiculous and with change you won't have everyone hiding behind block 24/7.

problem with that line of thought feidam is without blocking, you die in seconds..and I mean that ...in seconds in PvP right now on PTS

Even in my pure tank build I cannot maintain stamina. Is stamina regen broken or is the cost of blocking massively increased?

BTW I use hist bark and footmans for tanking and it still seems really really hard to maintain stamina.

I played on PTS tonight and saw what was happening. That's what testing is for as numbers can be changed. Hiding behind block 24/7 while casting should have never happened.

My DK is a Sword and Board, so block casting has nothing to do with it. It seems like stamina regen during and right after combat is non existent.

I was able to get my stamina regen up to around 1200-1500 or so...when I have almost 29000....

It takes forever to regen stamina..

And if we aren't regening stamina during combat then let's report it as a potential bug. I didn't personally feel like my stamina regen was off but I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to it either. I'll make sure to test that tomorrow.
