I am currently testing out the Ranger and got him up to 12th. I went to Highhold where I grouped up and enjoyed the XP/item farming in that region.
Something bothered me. If this is a bug and not intentional, then please disregard. There were humanoid types that would throw up this ability where all damage incoming would be ....blocked. The damage would be severely mitigated while this buff occurred. Now I do know that this Buff would sometimes bug and remain for an extended period of time, which really was irritating.
My question is, how does a bipedal humanoid block from behind while engaged in front??? Blocking has always been a positional defense. It works great from the front but does nothing from behind. That is what Armor or magic is for. If it is magic, it would most likely just be a shielding and not a "blocking" magic?
Again if this is a bug, then ignore me. If this is not, then the current system for "Block" is inaccurate and needs changing.

The Ranger that could not get through any blocking, regardless of position.
