Stacking Aura of Radiant Protection disables blocking

selphea

On a character with Aura of Radiant Protection (AoRP) as a passive, being in range of another character with AoRP will disable their ability to block. The blocking animation and movement penalties still apply, but damage will be taken as though the character wasn't blocking, and no "Blocked" text is displayed.

Yup, happens to my Mind AT even without stacking aura's this is the ONLY aura that was not fixed on the range of support ATs whose aura's werent working. As far as I am aware this issue was limited to AT's, and I still believe it is. The only reason I can see for it not being fixed is because it is on a Telepathic AT(Well a cruddy telepath AT at that)...and everybody know Cryptic hates telepathy..thats why it hasnt ever got a pass.

I usually have to run UNITY missions without my aura if I want to have access to my telekinetic block. Which as you can imagine leaves me very cautious in missions and they usually take me a while to complete, as my aura's 60% dmg resistance (down from 80% pre on alert:mad:) helps.

I have to keep using the only CC power which remotely works (Ego Sleep) and spam sprites and watch them slowly kill themselves..

I was running a Hybrid FF actually, and every time a Mind came near me I'd take full damage from Gravvy's yellow bubbles because I can't block it
