I have not remembered an occasion where my Violent Spin was blocked, or for instance, any movement card was blocked. I don't have a log here but i used Violent Spin next to a warrior, and Absorbing Block triggered, and not only did it trigger; it gave him 8 health
And it wasn't because you had cast "Path of Knives" on the enemy in question? Not saying i don't believe you, just trying to come up with a plausible scenario
