Overguard Prevents Melee Block from Working Properly

[PlatypusWarriorX]

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but I tested it with Rhino and Styanax, and overguard seems to prevent most effects of blocking with melee weapons from taking place. The damage of enemy attacks goes through, combo counter fails to build, and on-block effects from mods such as Guardian Derision will not activate. Silva & Aegis' passive still seems to work, and gaining overguard will not eliminate the bonus damage from Avenging Truth.

I think this is intentional.  Kullervo has never been able to block while Recompense is up, and Rhino was never able to block with Iron Skin, even before it was converted to Overguard.   Same thing with Mesmer Skin, although that's getting pretty far afield.

I'd prefer it if weapon blocking at least worked for the purpose of ancillary effects like Guardian Derision and combo gain, even if it didn't prevent damage to Overguard.

I feel the same way.
