<p>Have done a search for this but older posts arnt exactly similar to what im getting at.</p><p>Guardian tree, Block. Not the Warrior 100% parry 12sec aa ability.</p><p>Ive only noticed this recently. Sometimes usually a bit on the rare occasion, i'll cast Block but then im still taking auto-attack melee damage. It SHOULD Block the next incoming melee hit but sometimes its not working that way.</p><p>My guild was raiding Throne of New Tunaria a couple of weeks ago. Im there main-tanking Mayong, timing his delevel ability while using my temporary buffs to help the healers out when delevel lands, but Block failed me one time - it was active with about 5 seconds duration remaining when i died taking a 20k hit. I figured it was probably just lag client side. But then earlier today i was tanking contested Mayong in CMM we had him at about 60% with his delevel timed perfectly, i cast Block then 4 seconds later with 11seconds remaining on its duration i died from a 17k hit... i was like [Removed for Content]? Thats totally not lag lol. That Block surely should work even regardless of any other factor such as if the mob is 100 levels higher? Whats going on!</p>

It just raises your blocking percentage to 70% and dispells with the first CA you throw or first damage blocked.

LOL, I too was thinking it was a 100% block of the next attack... Guess they changed it and I never read the new description... Or was that a stealth nerf... not sure since I am not in game atm.

pretty sure it was still 100%, it is shield required, so maybe you were disarm'd, that'd be my reasoning.
