Defender

[Kuwabaraone]

Well, I will always stand by this creed for WAR: We are the Original Tanks. I'm not much of a Highend DD WAR as I use
Defender/Retaliation almost religiously. Been doing that ever since I got WAR to 60. Man, still remember the days I was on Full AF with Defender/Retal on. Could WS like the best of them; but I digress. Having a boost in Defender defenses is a good idea, but it probably won't be on the level for PLDs just yet. If anything, have Defender raise Parry rates for WARs with G.Axe equipped. Just a thought.

At the very least, what needs to be fixed about is its duration.

Recasting a buff like this on Paladin/war is just tedious. Generally speaking, if you're gonna use Defender, you're going to keep it up full time, not up sometimes and down other times.

Take Scholar's Dark Arts / Light Arts. Scholars do not need to fool around with using the same Job Ability over and over again; Light Arts stays up almost for as long as they need it to.

Popping Defender every five minutes is just meaningless, repetitive button pushing adds nothing to gameplay. The duration should be increased to until the player zones or dies, in addition to any other adjustments.

How in the world is pushing a button every 3 minutes tedious?

You talk like you remember back before PLD and NIN were introduced and you were tanking on war with retaliation... but retaliation was only introduced in March '08 lol

Yeah, that is true. Still, would be nice if Defender did raise the rate at which a WAR parries. That bonus could also work with just Great Axes too, since that's a WAR's Best weapon.
