Description

while engaging a mob or a player, engage breaks when you twist your chants as a paly, when you use taunt or any insta

Reproduction Steps

1. make a paladin
2. level till you can get engage
3. spec shield
4. engage a mob
5. try twisting or taunting

Intended Behavior

it shouldn't be broken by any of theese : only by clicking engage again, lacking endurance or hitting a weapon style / casted spell key (not insta)

instant taunt on the engage mob should keep you in engage but give you message : "target we recently in combat and cannot be engaged yet"

Twisting not influence your engage (self/group based instas not interfering with the target)

it might be related to the fact that twisting cannot be done while targeting a ram ?

Evidence

"Endurance is drained in return for a significantly increased blocking rate. Engage can only be used at range, or while closing to attack. Once you attack, it is disabled. Given upon specialization in shield at level seven."

specifies "once your attack"

"First off, about Shield. The amount of points you put in definately determines how much you block, along with the type of shield and your dexterity. I am a level 40 Paladin with 33 shield. I have had the same shield since level 32, when I had only 24 points into shield, and I have noticed a very big difference in the amount of times I block. Using a buff bot I have also noticed that with higher dexterity I block a **** of a lot more often. Now about engage, someone said it's not useful when you're solo? YEAH RIGHT! It had saved my **** so many times. I get low on hitpoint, I put up engage, then I twist heal chant with endurance chant (since engage drains endurance constantly) and the mob gets blocked while I sit there and get healed, then when I'm ready I start attacking again. I suggest poping up the engage when you're at about half health, since there is a delay and you get hit 2 or 3 times before the ability takes effect (because the mob has been hit recently). Now I have a question for some other people. If you have any +'s to your shield skill, from say spellcrafting or realm rank, passed 50, does it help you block more? For instance, is 50+11 shield any better then 42+8, or does it stop at 50 for the blocking whether its base or total skill?"

specifies "I put up engage, then I twist heal chant with endurance chant (since engage drains endurance constantly) and the mob gets blocked while I sit there and get healed, then when I'm ready I start attacking again."

and "since there is a delay and you get hit 2 or 3 times before the ability takes effect (because the mob has been hit recently)"
