 * Captain Osric (Yak's Bend)
 * Dakk (Ember Light Camp)

Usage Notes
This skill is effective in the hands of Ranger/Mesmers, who have good baseline armor and retain decent elemental armor even with the penalty applied. Properly attired in Rogue's, 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.

Physical Resistance combines excellently with Savant's Armor which almost nullifies the elemental armor reduction while boosting physical armor by 50 points.
