Blocking damage doesn't count as mitigating it for interactions. It should.

Doesn't work with active block or passive block. There aren't many effects like this in PoE2, but there will probably be more to come so it would be nice if it was addressed sooner.

This is bugged. Ignore it.

From what I recall Blocking does not interact with Recoup or similar effects like Divine Shield from PoE1 unless the Block actually results in damage. Like take %damage from blocked hits.

If you block 100% damage you did not prevent damage, you blocked it.

This is why +%HP/ES on Block + Divine Vigor and Glancing blows were a net gain over flat Blocking. The amount of recovery level you got rolling was/is just crazy high.

Block is technically something different than prevent.
Prevent comes from your physical damage reduction. Block is block. Different mechanics.

Unfortunate wording I guess.

Mister Xzorn, sir Evergray.

I would like to inform you that blocking was preventing damage all along.
And passives like Divine Shield historically worked with blocking.

This is from last year. And I think we should be calling it "bug".

With this logic "evasion" is also a mitigation too. Is it?

I've not tested with PoE2. Only ran one shield user ever. I'm fairly certain that's how it works in PoE1 though. A blocked attack is considered a precursor to damage. If you block then no damage occurred to recoup from. Where it gets a bit wonky is that a blocked hit still counts as being "Hit".

They likely made an exception to the rule because Recoup instances stack.

Any idea of the interaction with "Turtle Charm" from the Warbringer ascendancy that make you take 20% of blocked hit ? Does it count as a 80% damage mitigated or again, it just doesn't work ? :o
