    I noticed this too when I was fighting in a foundary and a GF type monster used the straight line daily, and I got knocked down every time even when I blocked.

    also in pvp, shield is everyday more usless than the day before... Guard last 1-2 seconds in epic dungeons, sometime don't pushing tab doens't work at all, when it works don't block lot of things.

    Theres also the ongoing problem of right after being hit by a CC. It takes about 1-2 seconds to re-lift your shield up to guard.

    Yep noticed this as well as I had a hard time tanking Maws in SP, bc they would blast my GF in the air although the shield was up

    I think this also happens in the Battle for the Bridge skirmish. The Fire Giant boss can chain-pull you, and there's not much you can do but chug potions when you can.

    It isn't a latency problem. It's a guarding problem. So many enemies cc you through guard.

    The giant maw in sp bomb you in the air with one of their aoe. THROUGH BLOCK.
    Fomorian warriors: swing with his mace push you back. Kick of him push you back too.
    Boss of feydark break: One of his Aoe work through block and you are prone.
    Giantsouls spin attack push you back through guard.
    1th Boss in ToS: Push your back with his arm swing attack.
    Powerful ax attack of hewer push you back.
    Some Skills in PvP too.
    And the list go longer, but i don't remember all situation in which the cc still work although the hit is blocked!


    ALL OF THAT HAVE CONSUMED Guard. SO THEY ARE Blocked! But the cc of these attacks work independent if you had blocked or not! It's working like intended or not?! Please response!

    DCs have a 50-point passive that blocks all damage from one attack every 60 seconds. It does not block CC; there have been many times when my DC goes flying through the air but takes no damage. I don't think block abilities are intended to block CC. That, or all of them are bugged.

    It is a different between only damage immunity and immunity against prone/knockback/cc all. Guarding say, that cc is blocked too, but in some cases it isn't!

    Other things that knockback through Guard are:
    Karundaxx' Wing Attack (other Dragon bosses like Mad Dragon, Dracolich etc probably too)
    Valindras Pet Charge-Jump (other Spider bosses like Gauntlegrym Steeder probably too)

    It would be very nice to get a Cryptic statement whether this is intentional and was not listed in the patchnotes or if this is a bug and gets looked into. It makes some fights very annoying, as GFs dont have any blink/teleport to get out of AoE and once your airborne the whole pack of adds rip you while you are unable to put your guard up.

    Ice golems: Smash down attack push you as guarding.

    Grast(1st boss FH) his hammer smash at bottom lift you up. If you stand to near center you get smashed into air and then fall down. If you 'only' stand near edge you only lift a bit up.
    Enhanced golem(2nd boss FH): Teleport through with damage hit: Block absorb damage, but you get hard push away...
    Bomb attack of him push you back too.

    Remember that the red areas for mobs AOEs are bugged. Not just Karrundax. So maybe you thought you were blocking some attack, but the actual attack came from the opposite side.
    English is not my first language.

    That is a separate issue, please do not state your opinions without having a good idea. It might mislead our dear devs and make them believe there's no bug. There is and it's in no way connected to AoE bug issue.

    I posted MObs, who don't use AoEs attacks to push/prone you while guarding. The damaged is absorbed but the cc not! So it's a fail of coding the guarding. The bugged AoEs attack with cc + DAMAGE is an other issue!

    I'm pretty sure that every anti-CC effect in the game is currently bugged in PvE. Rogue's Impossible to Catch no longer prevents knockback and Elven Battle Enchantment is not functioning either.

    I have described in detail CC immunity bug and red areas bug in the following thread:

    Control Immunity still bugged and Client/Server synchronisation still bad.

    I believe this is not cross-posting as it is highly relevant to the topic, however the thread name in my opinion is more fitting. Might also help the staff to identify the issues more easily.

    If you're having trouble beating dragons with current bugs to controll immunity and red areas the mentioned thread might help you figuring it out.

    As CC immunity bug involves not only GF's guard i believe the name of the thread should be more universal, therefore i want to ask you to post there instead. If you don't like the idea, fine, but less threads we make ("GF guard broken!" "ITC broken!" "X broken!" "Y broken!" instead of just "GF guard, ITC, X and Y broken!") the more clear the forums will be for the staff and the higher the chances of a fix.
    I've made that thread just today and already found it at the very bottom of the thread list page, since there's too many, way too specific threads out there already.

    It is true for Mad Dragon also, Chartilifax' Wing Attack goes through Block too, and it is very annoying as you even get hit by it if you are out of the red area. I doubt it was a lag because it was fine otherwise and it was for the whole fight and second try.
