GF Bugs galore

We really need to start a list to track these things that keep getting re-introduced. (Hint: unit/regression tests?)
1. While Viliian's Menace is active you cannot be CC'ed. - not working most of the time.
2. The infamous block bug is back.
3. Grand Regent's set bonuses do not work at all. no buff, no stat increase.
4. Soulforged enchantment - not working most of the time.
5. Battle trample feat - parsing the log file shows that this does not provide the correct amount of damage (its almost non-existent)
6. Tenebrous Enchant - parsing the log file shows that this does not provide the correct amount of damage.
There are many more and I will continue to add to this list.
I just want to say about items 3 and 4 that you have a lot of nerve charging for AD when most of the items that you really want to buy to improve your class simply do not work.
I am really getting disappointed in this game when so many game breaking bugs continue to exist. You would think that these would be addressed before new content, certainly with so many new games being announced at E3 this week.
I am a Hardcore gamer playing many games since beta release (eq1, eq2, Wow, Tera, GW2, Swotor, DDO, L2, etc, etc).
I am getting the feeling that Neverwinter is going to become an etc in short order if this continues.

However, in these particular cases:
1. Never seen any CC break this. What CC are you talking about?
2. Which infamous block bug? There have been many since beta.
3. No 4pc set bonuses work at all for most players. Thank the latest patch for that.
4. Soulforged is not always as reliable as people believe because it requires taking damage AFTER below the threshold. Sometimes/often, at least in pve, you'll get one-shot when less than 100% and in that case Soulforged will not help you, regardless of its rank.
5. Battle Trample is a terrible feat anyway. But ok, some detail would be nice...
6. Tenebrous now has a significant internal cooldown btw. But ok, some detail would be nice...
Here is the set bonus not working for the Grand Reagent set.

- many and various, in most cases the failure is intermittent. I will grab a screenshot.
2. Which infamous block bug? There have been many since beta.
- the timing bug, I will add a screenshot of this as well. I get the block message, my toon is visibly blocking and yet the blow is not blocked.
3. No 4pc set bonuses work at all for most players. Thank the latest patch for that.
- many have never worked (archmage set) yet they charge for AD, that's my point.
4. Soulforged is not always as reliable as people believe because it requires taking damage AFTER below the threshold. Sometimes/often, at least in pve, you'll get one-shot when less than 100% and in that case Soulforged will not help you, regardless of its rank.
- I have log files showing that soulforged has not proced in over a minute, I go below the threshold and when it should proc and take multiple hits before death. This is very common if you review your logs.
5. Battle Trample is a terrible feat anyway. But ok, some detail would be nice...
- it should be an amazing feat based on the values, do the math.
6. Tenebrous now has a significant internal cooldown btw. But ok, some detail would be nice...
- I will add detail and proof, but why post contradicting me if you have no info to back it up?
I didn't contradict you. You are the one making these claims with no detail? How can I contradict nothing...?
Apart from my opinion of Battle Trample, all I did was make sure you and others reading are not confusing certain effects and current status of spells.
EDIT: About villains menace: works 100% for me, except for some rare knockup attacks that can not be resisted by design. About soul forged: i'm guessing this is an issue with lag spikes. Works fine for me, but then again i also never saw any rubber banding many people are having.
EDIT: I've only been noticing this since the last update.
CC'd after a block: I will fall down, but not take damage.
I use VM alot especially in FH, but now I still fall down all the time.
TL;DR: There are attacks against which blocking/VM alone will not work, whereas using them simultaneously will. Also, with some cases your position within the designated area makes a difference - standing in the middle is generally not the best idea. I think this is by design. Block is, after all, omnidirectional so standing in the middle of an aoe could still fry you.
1. Villain's Menace: "With valiant fury you smash the ground, damaging foes around you. In your temporary fever, you deal increased damage and gain immunity to disabling effects."
So, if anything VM should be even stronger than GWF's Unstoppable which only applies to control effects and is not even a Daily. Yet, I highly doubt a GWF is affected in terms of control or disabling by any of the things you mentioned. If it is intended, the Power description would be different or the tooltip is just plain wrong.
2. Block is most certainly not omnidirectional. Not even sure how anyone can say that and be a GF! Block only works in a 180 degree plane just in front of your character (it is not centered in middle of your character) and is not 360 degrees...
And yes, the block is a 180% degree arc, but its still directional meaning anything coming from the back side still hits you (that's what i meant).
Anyway, just now as i was pondering on the unblockable attacks.. it seems most of them come from BELOW you (boss attacks and some mob attacks where something bursts from below your feet) which would actually make sense, since you can't block below your feet with a shield. Standing on the edge of the are, blocking towards the middle would work as the thing bursting up would just scrape you from the front.. Also the golem explosion for instance seems to be a highly negative temperature surge, which wold also be hard to block using a shield. These may be just coincidences, but i'm actually starting to see some logic there.. so far i'we just memorized what can and can't be blocked without much further thought on it.
1. mm very rare bug, hard for the devs to fix. Personally only seen it not work vs a GWFs stun. Usually works fine.
2. Not for me.
3. Known issue (all sets are buggy lately), fixed next patch.
4. Works for me everytime less its on the 60second cooldown.
5. mm not tested that, just assumed it worked.
6. Works fine for me, get exactly 3% of my hp in damage with greaters. (times 6)
