So the feat is no longer tied to your block, and has added crit.
That's weird. I haven't had a chance to do anything but IWD and the new first dragon campaign area, but I feel indestructible compared to mod 3. I can't figure out how anyone runs out of guard meter that is doing encounter powers too with Into the Fray in the mix. You must just stand with it on, but that never worked in mod 3 anyway.
100% agreed, ran a few epic tos, KV permanently running. the blockmeter lasts forever now, it's not even funny. before, i was always trying to "save" my block for occasions i might need it, now it's almost impossible to get it to empty if im using my abilities.
There were certain red-patch attacks that would bring it down pretty quick.. but l could do the guarded assault thing against three war trolls, kill them all and not take a single point of damage before this patch.
Edit-Thanks for cheering me up some.. Maybe it's not as bad as I thought.

The shield lasts long enough, even with my profound set seemingly not giving its bonus.
I only tried PvP once, but I had a different configuration than usual so I don't know yet, even if I think my GF as the potential to be more efficient there too.
Enorla, Oh so devoted cleric.
No, he's counting the old capstone which has changed from something terrible into something awesome. He just probably doesn't know it changed.
Pugs and all you know.
Go fight a decent GWF in PVP. 4/4 Profound Preserver, Profound Necklace of Dominance, Grim Belt of Dominance, 2x Purified Rings, 2/2 Ancient Grand Knight's weapon set, Shield Talent slotted, 47.5% DR, 25% deflection, 20% Tenacity, 38k HP, he stunned me through my guard and killed me through my guard. The old tactic of letting a GWF go Unstoppable and then just blocking his big hits doesn't work anymore. IBS hits like a truck through the shield and as mentioned, I was getting stunned by FLS through the shield. You are perpetually bleeding HP in a fight.
It is a POS in PVP.
In my opinion, against a good GWF, the shield is worse. The GFs damage output is much improved, but the shield is trash. I'd take the old one back in a hurry.
I'm also not the only person to highlight the fact that certain CCs are penetrating the shield. What good is guard when CWs, HRs and GWFs can CC/Stun you through your supposed phase of immunity?
The 20% bleed-through made the previous 'turtle' method (hunker down and spam shield bash) no longer viable, since they hit like trucks by default. On the good side, they weren't breaking my guard like they used to sometimes do.
Agreed on Blocking giving CC immunity; GFs have no option to make a fast escape from red zones, and many of same tack long(ish) duration CC effects onto their ridiculously heavy damage that can get you killed if you try to move out of range/the path. It doesn't help that you often have to have the shield up before they even launch the attack, since some of these are fast-casting and spammable and, as such, will tag you before you can block them if you're in the middle of one of the long animations on many of the GF's better attacks. Which leaves you open to a follow-up smash or another CC move, or (especially when fighting bosses) both.
Foulspawn Hulks and some of the Werewolves in Vellosk are particular offenders in this regard; the former can suck you inside their sprite, which makes blocking the follow-up smash (and it's attendant heavy KB) almost impossible to block due to it actually hitting you from behind, while the latter can chain-prone you to death if the first one lands since almost all of their attacks have one attached. These can both be dealt with if you're on your toes, but they make said fights unnecessarily frustrating.
Now, I haven't yet tested on my L60 partially geared-out GF yet, but I have a feeling he will be suffering even more in Icewind Dale (which was already rough for his 10.4K GS) and will get rather battered by the heavy hitters in Sharandar. Dread Ring won't change much, since they attack significantly more slowly.

Pfft, my conq had over 10K power before mod4 changed reckless attacker with R7s (well a couple of 8s). 6k power I've got on my HR.
This is a major NERF for me.
Example: Villinthrax in Whispering caverns. Currently dies in 10seconds with 30+ people attacking. I'm lucky to get hit 2 times before it dies so my damage is far less than what it would have been mod3. And no I can't get the stacks up beforehand because by the time the cutscene is over they have gone. So in HE's which are a DPS race I'm worse off than before, although my AoD crit for 102k (with no vorpal,fray or KC) but I still couldn't get Great Success in over 40 attempts.
Also the RA bonus drops off between mobs so I start out weaker every time, and since I hardly ever use shield, I am always worse off - and the new shield is useless since nearly all CC goes through it.
Also thanks for the waste of the 1.55m AD's upgrading my sellsword for the 600 power bonus, which is now only 300 and is off to the idle slots.
