Defensive Stance

Issue

useless for warriors, used on monks primarily (and monks are better off with Disciplined Stance other than a few seconds more from this).

+24 armor isn't as good as it was before

Suggestion

"You have 75% chance to block and don't take extra damage from a critical attack" (like Balanced Stance).

ends on attack skill or nonwarrior skill [help heal sig]

OR

ends on attack skill or spell [help heal sig] (as per 76.26.189.65's idea)

Ends on using a skill makes this useless

Issue

Inability to use skills with this makes it a bit useless.

Suggestion

Change it so that it ends if you cast a spell.

Not very useful because of it's end condition.

Suggestion

Stance. (1...7...8 seconds.) You have a 75% chance to block and +24 armor. Ends if you use a non-adrenal skill.

Changing it to end on non-adrenaline skills (such as spells, signets etc.) would make it a better option for warrior primaries, and still a bad choice for others (especially casters). It would be useful with Lion's Comfort to heal yourself while protected, or to shake off an enemy backliner so you could get off an adrenaline-based spike.
