Any plans for auto-blocking?

Good riddance to Guard. It was absolutely terrible having to constantly waste time putting up your shield, especially when the UI lags enough as it is. Without your shield up, you can't phalanx and your threat generation is far weaker. If you stop to put your shield up, you'd be wasting 3 or 4 valuable seconds that SHOULD be used for threat or a defensive cooldown. It was a lose lose situation.

This will let us focus on actively controlling the monsters and protecting our teammates. Without Guard, I might actually have time to use more of my abilities over the course of each fight instead of worrying about my threat generation and damage mitigation dropping like a rock every couple of seconds.
