A player on the official Blizzard forum described strange mob behavior on the Forever beta: when attacking from Stealth, mobs dodge the surprise attack, and Sinister Strike shows [BLOCKED] in the combat log without a shield. The thread has three messages from three participants — Blizzard has not responded yet.

What happened

On September 29, a thread titled "Enemy Defence Capabilities" appeared in the Forever section of the Blizzard forums. A rogue player described unusual mob behavior on the current beta: when approaching from behind and attacking from Stealth, mobs dodge Ambush. Right after that, the mob turns to face the player, and Sinister Strike shows [BLOCKED] in the combat log — even though the mob has no shield.

The author asks: is this a bug, or are mob defense tables configured this way in Forever?
