Usage
Where this skill shines is in the hands of Warrior/Mesmers, who can use it to further strengthen their already prodigious physical armor, particularly when combined with abilities like "Watch Yourself!" and Dolyak Signet, or Ranger/Mesmers, who have good baseline armor and retain decent elemental armor even with the penalty applied. Properly attired in a combination of Rogue's and Performer's Armor, a Mesmer primary can also achieve respectable physical defense using this stance. A mesmer seeking a quick defensive boost rather than long-term protection is probably better off with Distortion, however.
