Prince Combat Log problem

Right, as I understand, 490 defense as a Warrior, with Shield Block up, makes me uncrushable. There's my sweeping statement that might be wrong...I really don't know, I can't crunch the numbers.

Anyway, I was tanking Prince the other day and he floored me with about 3/4 consecutive hits one of them being a 6k crushing blow.

However, when I looked at my combat log, stunned at the sudden death, the crushing blow seemed to have landed before the Shield Block faded.

Can anyone explain this anyway? can the combat log lag, or does this represent some kind of simultaneous crush with him being a Dual-Wielder...

Thanks in advance-Grully

- Prince dual wields, and can eat the charges on shield block before the duration expires
- The order of the combat log has never been guaranteed to be the actual order of events on the server

You have on 2 shield charges and they can be eaten up.

Two things to watch out for

1.) Any melee standing at front of him .. with all the running in and out they sometimes get there positioning wrong.

2.) Phase 2 when he starts swinging really fast stop auto attack and trinket, pot etc

The combat log isn't exact regarding buff gain/fade. Simple as that.
