Guardian blocking

lizhiska

I have been having more and more trouble with having my block up and still taking a hit or knock down
( yes I am facing the mob, yes my meter is not close to being gone) I know lag has got me some times
But there are other signs to lag and after a lag death I give up for awhile till lag settles.

There are certain times when I block it says block and I still get knocked down and shield meter is not broken
The Grey wolf one was the one that really got to me I can block but then get tossed to take fall damage

Are there certain area attacks you just can not fully block? (how do you tank that wolf boss then?)

Or is there something else wrong here.

Yes, there are certain attacks that you can't fully block (in the sense that the knockback/knockdown still goes through). Said attacks usually have a long telegraph though, giving one time to step back.
