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

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".

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
