Lancer's block is buggy?

It seems to happen only in instances, you can see it for yourself when you are out it's almost instant and when you go in a dungeon it's about a 0.8sec delay thing.

Myself a mystic healer I find it pretty annoying to heal, even if I manage it's just extra work to do. And I know it's not the lancer fault but at this rate they won't be doing hard mode like that. It add extra damage to heal that would otherwise not be there and it means everything when a boss does a huge attack.

I wouldnt say unresponsive, i'd say 'broken'

almost makes me not want to play my lancer at all. I'd be blocking a bunch of attacks one second, the next my dudes just standing there getting axes in the face for no reason...

Also since when could we be knocked down, even though we blocked an attack? Mystics in CR did that to me tonight over and over. Was blocking successfully, taking no damage but still got put on my arse over and over..

Again, this is the only place I've noticed the issue. I don't want to diminish what anyone is saying, but I find it odd that I've never had any problems (even since the patch) except for in a couple of dungeons (which EME has said there is an issue).

(talking about PvE only)
Not picking on anyone, but I'd suggest checking if your issues are related to something on your end (either lag, as one guy said he's in Oceanic... so yeah... or your block timing).

Did Fane of Katrina twice. 1 before the patch and one after the patch. Both days were the same lag delay. Yes some player complain just because they are bad. But my hubby shown me exactly what it is. He press the button and the skill happen right away when outside dungeon even when fighting Bams and world bosses. It's not a graphic issue either. I'm glad EME is looking into this.

Every so often an attack will go through your block (no, I'm not talking about an AOE centered behind you, I mean an attack right through your front arc). It's annoying but there's nothing you can do about it till they find the problem and fix it. The good news is you can always just get out of the way of any insta-wipe attack that you could otherwise block to ensure you will live.

I've noticed this aswell, my lancer seems to take his time putting up his shield -_- , sometimes not even putting it up at all. Like most of you I thought it was my mouse, but apparently not. Idk I've adjusted my tanking to pretty much keeping the shield up at all times because I can no longer put up my shield in a timely manor.

Idk it's annoying but glad I'm not the only one with this problem :)

I've gotten this issue a few times. Attacks that I should have blocked are not blocked because of the delay, and its not because of my block being on cooldown, it just doesn't respond as quickly as needed. My Lancer would just stand there.

Turn on show skills in your option. Now whenever you use a skill, an icon will display on top of your head. Now you know for sure you are blocking or not.
