Not regenerating Magicka while blocking

Billium813

So, this is a rather bizarre bug. I notice that sometimes after equipping my tank build from the armory assistant, that I cannot regenerate magicka while blocking with shield! I have an ice staff, and I know that blocking with an ice staff reduces magicka recovery to 0. However, swapping to shield, I am still not recovering magicka! What's going on!



Notice in the clip that I first dump some magicka to get low, block with ice staff. My mag recovery is 0, so this makes sense. When I swap to shield, my mag recovery goes back to 907... but I'm not gaining any magicka! If I drop shield, I start to recover mag again, but blocking once more halts the recovery again... It may be hard to see, but if you look reeeaaaallly close, my mag bar goes up a bit, then drops back down. Also, I can confirm this ISN'T just a UI bug cause the magicka isn't there. It doesn't recover and using more mag doesn't show that there is some invisible pool of mag.

I have seen this bug a dozen times now, in several situations. IDK if it's a Templar thing, or not. I can provide my build if that would help someone reproduce it. The only thing that I know is the connection with all these times it happens is that I use the Armory Assistant to swap to my Tank build. Just today, it's happened in the Deadlands, in City of Ash 2 dungeon, and in my house making this gif. It doesn't happen all the time though, so I'm not quite sure what's going on here but there is definitely a bug.
