Turtle Charm Should be Tweaked

Level 77 zDPS Warbringer here to discuss Turtle Charm.

I feel like with the recent patch notes making it so that passive blocking now applies to all directions Turtle Charm has lost some of its uniqueness.

Being a shieldey boi I thought passively blocking from the front was just intended and raising shield would bring that passive bonus up to an active 100.

With Turtle Charm I noticed I was able to block stuff from behind which was an added benefit to the perk, like gaining a Turtle Shell if you will. But it kind of ruined active blocking since you lose the ability to block aoe hits while your shield is raised.

Since passive block now applies in all directions for everyone I feel like Turtle Charm lost some uniqueness and should just be to "Can block Damage from All Hits"

As it stands right now, I feel I am no longer active blocking, just face tanking and smashing Mace Attack while hoping my 75% block rate carries me. If Turtle Charm is changed, it'll encourage more tactical use of active block rather than just relying on passive block, allow more daring players to run less passive block, and let players fulfil their fantasy of hiding in their turtle shell.
