If you run out of stamina and you press block, your character enters a completely broken state where:
- heavy attacks don't fire and cause your character to glitch, and drain your stam from 100% to 0 instantly on release
- light attacks don't fire at all
- magic abilities don't fire
- stamina abilities rarely work
- bar swapping costs stamina
- movement can cost stamina
Dodge rolling twice appears to fix this but, as noted above, your stamina pool is being constantly drained and you cannot always afford to dodge roll. Rolling doesn't always work either.
@ZOS_GinaBruno this issue is game breaking, and is not related to server load. It appears to have started with the block changes, please get the dev team to review asap
