Defense[edit]
Last Stand - Cast Lesser Balanced Stance when you are disabled. Stances grant vigor when activated and have increased duration.
Disables include stun, daze, knockback, pull, knockdown, sink, float, launch, taunt, and fear.
Strength[edit]
Restorative Strength - Using a heal skill grants might.
Notes[edit]
- While the stance is active, incoming retaliation, condition and direct damage will heal the warrior for the full amount otherwise dealt.
- Poison will heal the warrior while continuing to reduce heal effectiveness.
- Effects that negate incoming damage, such as Endure Pain will prevent Defiant Stance from turning incoming strikes into healing.
- When activated, the Warrior will emanate a large blue glow that shrinks down to a small white glow, indicating the stance being active.
- Enemies attacking the warrior will see green healing numbers pop up rather than damage numbers.
- Agony and falling damage are unaffected by Defiant Stance.
- Underwater activation time is a 1/2 second.
