    I'm curious if DE was aware of Guardian Derision and Electromagnetic Shielding when creating the new melee system or if it didn't have enough player use that it could be swept under the rug and ignored or if there's something done for Guardian Derision that is not in it's text.  

    For Context:
    Guardian Derision at max ranks (5)
    Blocking taunts enemies within 15 meters to target you instead of allies.

    Electromagnetic Shielding at max ranks (5) for Ack and Brunt
    While blocking, redirect 50% of damage taken by allies within 12m to yourself.

    I'm not sure how many do this, but I've used these mods on my Ack and Brunt along my Oberon and Trinity for the purpose of a tank that never dies and keeps the team alive drawing aggro along with the Quick Thinking and Hunter Adrenaline mods.  Although I enjoy the new melee system for all my other frames, it's quite unfortunate for this to occur to my frames but curious as well for anyone else who uses the two mods at the start of this that relied on blocking.

    I understand you auto block now.  But the mods said while blocking they trigger.  You are not constantly under a barrage of fire.  They reload or decide to stop shooting from out in the open and move towards another spot out in the open to resume shooting.  There are gaps where you're not attacked.  So I am curious what occurs when you're no longer autoblocking.  To my understanding, I see three case scenarios that have occurred.

    1.)  This was not thought of and therefore Guardian Derision is dead since you will taunt them when they're attacking you which is moot since they already began attacking you and lose aggro once they stop firing and rely on RNG for them to attack you again rather than allies.  No different than not running Guardian Derision before the melee rework.  Will something be done to address this or will Guardian Derision/Ack and Brunt be getting removed soon?  Or perhaps implement case 3 scenario if it's not already implemented?

    2.)  This was known and simply swept under the rug since perhaps the amount of users who use the two mods can be ignored?  Really hope it's not but if so hoping they have plans of removing it and giving full platinum back?

    3.)  When you autoblock something, you have a timer on top of you to draw aggro towards yourself after you blocked once.  It helps make sure that aggro is still on you after enemies reload and begin to search for targets to shoot once more. If this is what occurred, hoping a DE rep can confirm and if so how long does the taunt duration last on you until you're blocking again to reset the timer?

    Hoping some official response or from anyone who can confirm a previous response from DE in regards to this issue?

    Both Guardian Derision and Electromagnetic Shielding will work if you only equip melee weapon. Without no primary and secondary gun, you'll be able to manually guard...still sucks tho.
