Perma Block in PvP

So I don't mean me standing still, blocking whilst using vigor, or reverse slice. I've seen videos where players are using all abilities, sprinting, roll dodging, whilst having the blocking symbol in front of them. Is this an exploit? Visual Glitch? Anyone know? Thanks.

    Could be the SnB ult

    I've gotten the symbol stuck on, I think /reloadui fixed it. I was on my mount with the block icon in front of me, it's annoying.

    Visual bug that's been around since they implemented it, never fixed, no one asked for the stupid telegraph anyway. Or it could just be the ultimate.

    I’ve had it show the block symbol for up to 8 hours. It’s just a visual bug and not seen by enemy players

    It's from heavy animation canceling

    As others have suggested, the SnB ultimate looks the way OP describes.

    Other possibility, every once in a while while I’m in the animation for the SnB gap closer “invasion” I lag and get stuck in the animation. I’ve even run between keeps stuck charging with my shield out, and then it just goes away - very annoying!

    It’s a bug. It happened to me yesterday. The symbol stayed up for over an hour. I wasn’t blocking or more importantly I wasn’t mitigating any damage because the symbol was up. Happened to me once before in a Summerset dungeon when it first came out.

    It’s more irritating than anything; but, it’s just a visual bug.

    Yesterday I saw a new player with constant dk wings which lasted for several minutes. Not animated or functional, just visible, bugged.

    It's just a visual glitch. I think it has something to do with blocking and bar swapping really fast. If you watch any of Kristofer ESO's videos (awesome stamplar gameplay btw), he gets it A LOT because of all the movement. At least that's what I think causes it.
    As others have said, SnB ult also does this. It lets you autoblock for no stam cost for a period of time while also casting abilities.
