I don't get why they keep doing mods in a vacuum like this...

Being active only when blocking means that to get a decent use out of this you should have melee equpped and hold block while... being unable to do anything else.

There's no point to this when you have tons of options for good CC abilities.

Rhino, Oberon and the like can shut down enemy fire. Even Wukong/Valkyr can do the job way better than this mod with a decent CC weapon (i.e.: Jat Kittag) while being invulnerable themselves for a tiny energy cost and while doing that they can... you know, kill the enemies so they stop shooting?

A better option could be turning it into a link-like buff (active for a while or until you switch weapon), but it would still be inferior to any form of CC (or faster killing).
