Before, When you proc'd a shield block on a counter, it would count as the counter missing. So the counter wouldn't fire at all and the PLD's hit would go through normally. This was very useful on mobs with high counter rates, or counter enhancing buffs.

Then one update, it just changed. Without notice, nothing in update notes, nothing from dev team. Wasn't listed in the known or resolved issues.

Currently, not only to you get hit by the counters, but you can't block the DMG from them. So MNK mobs get to completely bypass Ochain's defenses on counters. It's extremely annoying. Still pissed about it.

Submitted bug reports, but as usual, nothing. -.-
