Weird stamina behaviour while blocking since the patch

Iosum

I'm main tank, and, after really difficult times (for sustain issues) in vRockgrove, vCR and then DoM HM today, I just went to an overland zone and tried blocking with some random mobs to see what happened. I had 3 different outcomes:
1. The hits was double-ticking my stamina bar - I mean. When a monster hit, it dragged the common quantity of stamina, but then did another tick (no new hit, everything in a short amount of time only after the first tick) with the same amount (making it double).
2. The hits was hitting my stamina bar as usual.
3. Suddenly, the stamina bar dropped from a ~75% to a ~30% for some reason, it just disappeared.

I know they changed some CPs today, but the CP change doesn't explain at all the issues I had, literally yesterday I was blocking 5 enemies at once without suffering sustain issues, and today my stamina bar was just crying the whole runs, consequently receiving damage like a target dummy (FYI, exact same team as yesterday). Am I the only one having these issues?

It's bugged. It either does the double tick thing or charges you the entire cost of everything you blocked at once (a second time) when you drop block.

Mine Is totally drained After few hits, before the patch I could block a loro of attacks, now can't stand 3/4 attacks and my block cost Is 904 stamina.

I donno what actually happen during block/drain, donno of It Is a block cost top High or something which happens After I stop blocking like ssewallb14_ESO said, still my stamina bar hot drained After few hits and maths and numbers says that this behaviour should be impossible.

Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the replies mates, in part I'm glad I'm not the only one suffering about this. I asked some tank guildies and apparently all of them have the same issue, hope they fix it soon or it will be a pain even tanking fungal grotto 1.

As a update, isn't something tied to CP since I had this problem during battlegrounds using Sword and Board, sinc eCP are disabled there maybe Is something else, as a plus I don't all the passive from One Hans & Shield (Just the One which reduces the cost), so It should be something from traits or from Defensive Posture skill (which I have slotted). Didn't tryed with ICE staff, but with 2h Sword the bug seem NOT happening, but I have to test more since I haven't care so much about this behaviour while I was using 2H.

Hm... I tried with ice staff too and seemed to do the same. Some friends was watching the transmission on Discord to prove the issue, they tried too, and seemed to happen with bow, dw and resto staff too. I don't have defensive posture tho, so I don't really think it's a skill-related issue.
