Explanation: Currently when I run out of resources while blocking, specifically with stamina, I will be unable to block when switching to my ice staff. The one way to resume blocking is by roll dodging. It's happened more than several times today to be more than a nuisance-
Specifically it's happened several times on the second to last(the nix-ox) and last boss(the bulimic matron) fights in Bal Sunnar as well as the last fight in Scrivener's Hall (fire cone) while each boss was using their extremely long channeled attacks.
I also had it happen in veteran Cloudrest from blocking in Crushing Darkness (which drains resources rapidly if you block/kite it), so this bug isn't simply due to those dungeons.
My suspicion is that either no check exists to see if there are resources to block does not reapply your ability to block, or the check to allow you to reapply block is broken. The most reliable way to get my ability to block to return is to roll dodge.
solution: A check needs to exist to see when you have resources equal to or greater than your minimum block cost when you try to reapply it after it has been taken away due to the block drop balance mechanic/feature not allowing block to be reapplied.
TLDR for players: Tanks should be very aware of their resources when they are blocking in this patch, if you let it reach 0 you may lose the ability to block until you roll dodge, which might not be possible due to your roll dodge potentially requiring the same resource you are blocking with
