Turning Tide: Only works after Blocking an Attack, not when Blocking

The English description states that when you Block, you gain Flowing Water and can do "things".
However, it only activates after Blocking an Attack, not when you Block.

That would be a "parry"
Given the effect persists after a block it should then use the past tense "Blocked"
At the very lest specify that you "Block an Attack".
Otherwise, I blocked (the air?), I didn't prevent anything, but I blocked, is a valid argument.Edited by Avran_Sylt on March 1, 2024 6:13PM0 -

Parrying is not the same as blocking. You cannot "parry" attacks in ESO.
If a tooltip says "Block" or "Blocking", it means actually blocking an attack. "Bracing" is what they use when something procs upon activating block.
You cannot "block" nothing - you CAN brace for an incoming attack in the hopes of blocking it.
The act of blocking presumes there was something that was blocked.Edited by CameraBeardThePirate on March 1, 2024 7:03PM7 -

Disregarding their lack of any mechanic that relies on damage done based on damage dealt to you recently reflecting damage,
Then they need to keep that distinction: Blocking an attack.
Not just relying on half-measures of forum communication to specify that Block does not only mean the act of blocking, but that of blocking an incoming attack.
(You can absolutely block for "nothing")Edited by Avran_Sylt on March 1, 2024 7:04PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Blocking costs stamina. If there’s no attack to block, no stamina is lost, no block effect is procced.
As others have explained, holding block is bracing. This affects stamina regen but does not have a stamina cost.2
