Question about stamina depletion

Hello, I have been doing a couple of dungeon runs and I noticed 2 things in regard of stamina that I do not fully understand as to why they happened.

The first thing that I noticed was when I got hit by regular mobs inside dungeons and the blue 'block' numbers appeared, I checked my stamina and it actually got depleted. The strange thing was that I had not been pressing my shield key, so I was wondering whether certain mobs have some sort of 'piercing' attacks that deplete stamina even when not pressing the shield key.

The second thing that I do not understand is that when my stamina bar got fully depleted (either by 1 massive hit, or several strong hits in a row), the stamine-regeneration somehow broke. Together with that, the shield icon next to the bar became red and a crack appeared into it, apparently notifying me it 'broke'. Afterwards it would not regenerate, not even outside combat until I started using certain powers that affect stamina. (Powers like burning light, binding oath and shielding strike restarted the regeneration process for me). Is this supposed to happen aswell, is there a mechanic in place here that explains why this happens?

If anyone would have an idea as to why these things happen, I would appreciate if you could inform me. Thanks in advance!

    The blue shields tell you how much damage you blocked.

    The red ones show you the same, but that your shield broke as well.

    This means you have 2 ways to see that your shield is working.

    The second thing appears to be a shiny new bug. It’s possible it has existed for some time but I run Shielding Strike as my at-will specifically because it regens stamina so may never have noticed as a result.

    Thanks for your response. I was aware that the blue and red shield icons appear to notify you of the depletion of the stamina shield. My problem is that I do not understand why it would appear (and deplete stamina) when I am not using my shield (or a skill like burning light/TAB)

    I already was afraid the 2nd thing would be a bug. Usually I would be using shielding strike in the preview myself, so that's why I hadn't noticed it before either sadly. Was trying out different set-ups while playing. Moreover, it is also annoying since you will not be able to restart your stamina regeneration out of combat.

    I suspect the blue shields when not blocking might be deflects.

    I’ve also had the stamina get stuck, but just in a Master Expedition, took 5-10s to get it going again (despite Shielding Strike, Burning Light etc).

    I can actually confirm that blocking is getting "stuck" as it were. Standing there, taking hits, I take normal damage. I hold shift, and block like normal with the blue damage numbers. Let go of shift, and I still block damage, and my stamina continues to deplete and then will not regen at all.

    Yet another bug. Putting in the bug report.

    Then again no I won't put in the bug report forum. I'm apparently still too new to do so, despite this account being several months old. So if anybody could please post this problem in the bug report forum, I'm sure we would ALL be grateful.

    Its a post count thing, not an account age thing. I'm going to make a report after sleeping, and after uploading a video.
