Is everyone aware of the cowards gear bug yet?

Not too sure if everyone has put this one together yet but have you noticed a lot more jump fighters lately? Are they next to impossible to kill? It's because of the 30% reduction in damage while holding sprint and when you jump holding sprint and block your stam pool drains at a much slower rate like half or something and you mitigate 30% on top of your block.. Anyone who doesnt believe me just run around jumping while blocking and watch your stam pool it shifts gears when you are in the air.

    • Sounds like a 'sprint' bug, not a coward's gear bug.
    • Stam shouldn't drain at all, at least not because of sprint, when jumping. (It should require stamina, but that's not how they have it set up.)
    • If you're holding sprint key, your regen is supposed to stop, even if you're not moving. Again, dumb setup, but current setup.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    I think it's a cowards gear bug to be honest I don't think it was intended to be able to block while sprinting and still gain the 30% reduction in damage.

    After testing block does not stack with cowards gear. Even if you jump block and hold sprint. So I stand corrected. But when we tested it you can stand holding sprint and damaged is reduced and stam does not burn so when you are cc'd and are down you can hold sprint and reduce dmg by %30 still. Is this working as intended?
