I noticed this a while ago, but I didn't think to ask until now. I noticed that If you put up your shield right before getting hit, you still take damage. If it was a very small gap of time where you would still take damage, I would be fine, but it's a big enough gap (as far as pvp and pve goes) where you need to put your shield up before getting attacked to avoid taking damage that it can really mess you up. If I had to estimate, I would say that if you put your shield up from .1~.3 seconds (a fairly large chunk of time in combat)before getting attacked, you still take damage. This can be especially frustrating if you are taking on a big group of monsters, as you can rarely ever put down your shield to attack. Has anyone else noticed this, and will this get fixed/tweaked?
