1.1.0.10 Blocking Blood Siphon Hook Doesn't Prevent Siphoning?

[Tahoefox]

Reducing the damage of blood siphon hook to 0 with Spear Guard and threshold doesn't prevent it from siphoning.

That seems consistent.  You may have reduced the damage to 0, but the ability still hit, meaning it should have a chance to trigger its follow-on effects.

That makes sense with some effects, like Tackled or Off-Balance, but with Siphon Blood it seems like it would be necessary to break the skin to drain blood from the target. Similar to abilities like Crippling Strike or Kneecap Shot, you have to deal damage or you don't get the effect.

Idk you could be right, it might be working as intended. It just seemed strange with this particular ability.
