just wondering if anyone can come up with a good use for the skill
basically it raises your mdef and pdef while lowering all other important stats
the two uses i can think of are useing it in mass pvp if you are the first targeted to keep you alive abit longer (stat increase isnt really high enough to help much)
and useing it in a party if you get too much agro and might die (elixers and pot spam prolly a better option)
hmm... is the defense boost quite significant or just so-so, because of its a high boost, perhaps playing the puller in a large aoe party, or something of the sort. (Yeah I know its similar to what you have posted, just throwing idea's out there)
well the boost is along the lines of, if you have 1k mdef and pdef you have 1.2k pdef and mdef when you toggle it
the problem being when you toggle the skill it lowers every important stat you have as a melee toon (accuracy, attack speed, run speed) so you cant exactly switch it on and be uber
doing aoe pulls you would prolly take more damage with it on than off
Hmm yeah with slower run speed you'd get hit more while pulling the mobs.. only thing I can see where it would be of use is if you're rooted against a ranged player/mob..
so use it when your hitting the mobs not when your pulling ....
the 300 pdef bonus is well worth that small reduction in attack speed, and if you have greater shield and song of earth etc.. then the bonus gonna be a lot bigger for you
would also be useful against mages, since having 300 extra m def can really hurt their damage

its only 200 more pdef/mdef (20% i think)
problem is it decreases all the stats that are useful in any form of combat (attack speed, accuracy and run speed)
couldnt really use it while poling because the extra defence more than likely wont make up for the damage loss
useing it against a mage, who should be kiteing would be a bad move id say :P
