Seems great for tanks, useless for everyone else. Thoughts?
Borderline Overpowered for DPS in PvE if you know when to press Defensive Stance.

Okay, I see what you mean. Help your healers by swapping right before the bomb goes off. Smart…this is why I ask. While only necessary for bleeding edge content, I could see it being very important for intensive fights.

I mean in a high enough level you just don’t live without externals otherwise
I don’t think it will be a required talent for the average player, but I’m excited to see it in the tree as an opportunity to min max a little. To reward smart play and holistic use of our kit.
If a well timed D stance can help my healer out in a pinch, I’m all for it. But for those not interested in micro plays like that, I can see some passing it up.
It’s probably pretty good for PvP.
I haven’t tried it, but it sounds like it might be nice to have.

cool cool…for like who….2/3% of players? Even for AotC it is very rare to not be able to just victory rush to help heals thru a bomb. normally if you die, u were standing in the wrong spot
Yeah it’s only good for duels, our defense profile is absolutely terrible for anything other than that.
And we can’t really know what works until our damage is fixed and the broken specs are nerfed, we have zero pressure currently so you can’t force the enemy into defensive play that will lower their pressure.
I understand that tuning wasn’t the priority but that philosophy just doesn’t work, it’s like asking us to review a race car that has a broken engine, gameplay and performance is one indivisible thing.
Impending Victory is for healing after the fact, Defensive Stance is for mitigating damage before it happens.
You’re correct that it’s not particularly important for lower end content in which healers can carry all the burden by themselves, but then neither is Enraged Regeneration, Die by the Sword, or Spell Reflect either.
