So what i wanted to ask is if anyone else experienced character going into recovery animation after block (often on fire chains) which with slower weapon prevents casting spells?

I am running mele wizzard right now with spectral, meteor and nova and i am using shield with 14% block. However that low block is still enough to block a lot fire chain ticks which often prevents me from casting spells like nova or meteor beacuse i am stuck in block mode.
