When I block with the Gain Health % on block it does not function. For instance, I block an enemy attack. I gain no health and only lose health from the enemy. I hope this can be fixed.

If your “Gain Health on Block” doesn’t outweights the incoming damage your Health will still go down.
Ex:
You take 10 dmg from Blocking an attack
You have 100 Health and gain 2% Health on Block
Result : ((10 damage taken) - (2 health gained back) = 8 Damage taken
To negate the 10 Damage taken you would need 500 Base Health
As of my understanding Blocking only adds
the Shield Armor Value to your Armor during Block which results in less Damake taken.

That is an interesting take on things. Thanks for the info.
