Level 1 Defensive Spell

How many of you use the level defensive buff to tank? Just to get the 15% bonus and not lose all the offensive stats?

What?

He's talking about using the lowest level defensive stance to get the 15% armor bonus without losing an ungodly amount of melee skills and disruption.

... which isn't really a bad idea if you still actually get the full 15% at level 80, considering defense isn't really that useful compared to parry/block and wisdom is totally worthless.

EDIT: Actually, if that really works, that's pretty fucked up and I know I'm going to be looking for the master of that stance pretty quickly, lol. I do 90% of my tanking in offensive stance as it is, unless I'm really getting wailed on. Would be real nice to use that as sort of a mid-stance.

Damnit that means I need to check this out when I get home. Really? A Paladin?

I keep it around in case as kind of a neutral stance. mainly for when i want more mitigation (granted mitigation curve makes this less usefull) without giving up melee offensive skills. currently mobs are too hard to hit and even with 520 slash i miss alot. its good to have just in case.

It's a shame I had to kill the Paladin in real life with my Death Touch. Well, I took off his pinky finger anyway.

I heard that long ago from a zerker when he was using low lvl stance, but ours adds defense + mitigation so I don't know if it will be worth to lose that defense too .. at least higher one has alot more +defense
