Not working, still the same HAMSTER. Try standing in a safe area and press shift. You will notice your character cancel the animation after a few secounds. Happends to me like 50% of the time....
Tested about 8 hours ago.
Block still drops for no reason.
Still lags a full second.
Sometimes blocks the direction you're running not facing.
Sometimes doesn't animate at all (Most often after CC effects).

Just tested it again this minute and, no, it is not working, it is still very broken. Easy to re-create the bug. Stand anywhere, Protector's Realm, a safe area in a zone, in a dungeon. Press shift and hold it down, shield goes up. Let go and do it again, holding Shift down. This 2nd time shield goes up, and then falls back down while Shift is still being held. Your blocking just simply stops.
No good work around when you're tanking a boss that can 1 or 2 shot you with a knock down or anything else that requires careful timing. This is pretty much game over for GFs until they fix it, our class defining mechanic.

I can't tell for certain, but I'd guess the people reporting "no issues" are at levels where a couple hits that sneak past the guard don't matter all that much. Or I also see a response from someone who doesn't even play a guardian and just showed up to point out that guard must work because someone blocked most of this spells in PVP.
With such a small number of guardians around, it might not be a bad idea to talk with other guardians you see, and have them report their experience with guard on the forums as well.
