Can't Cancel Animation to Block Anymore

AlCiao · November 2022

What it says, I have to wait until a channeled ability's animation cancels before I can block, instead of being able to interrupt it to block when needed. This is a pretty big deal for me.

Is anyone else having this problem?

This isn't intended, is it? I didn't see it in patch notes.

That is, I have to wait until a channeled ability's animation finishes before I can block.

(For some reason there's no Edit button to my post.)

Yes, I am having the same issue, with jabs and radiant glory/oppression. Did not check rapid strikes or any other channeled skill yet.

Edit: well, just checked rapid strikes and yes, it also prevents you from blocking until the animation ends.

I tested it with "Channeled Acceleration" and it still seems to work with this skill.
The skill "Borrowed Time" behaves a bit weird when trying to block during channeling it, tho.
Pressing and holding RM once has my character not block and only stare into the abyss.

Those are the only two skills I've tested.

Block seems very broke in this new patch. Some skills seem to stop the block now and dodgerolling etc.
