Every Tank should have dps/tank stance be off-GCD and not reset their combo

My point is that they can both gain similar mitigation in a similar amount of time as the game exists currently.

switching to Defiance off GCD + activating Innerbeast on gcd
is similar to
activating Shield Oath on GCD

Why should PLD be able to switch off GCD when its pretty even already?

So everytime a tankbuster coming you switch to defiance right before that? You could anticipate it and let a regen tick hit you... and mitigate this weakness with no negative to you at all.

As I said that is a situational weakness.

Now if the MP cost on Paladin and Dark Knight stances was randomly mititgated... then it would be equal.

Cant help but ask if you are trolling me... Are you really being serious?
Are you really trying to say that a single regen tick after a tank buster, is worth anywhere near 20% mitigation of said tankbuster...

MP cost is another discussion for another thread IMO, and one that i probably wouldnt get involved in, but would read (my initial thought is that you have MP cost because you dont have a cd, but no opinion atm on whether or not its the right cost). Maybe start a discussion on it? seems interesting.

I'm not trying to troll you.

I was exaggerating for effect. If your using defiance as a last minute resort to mitigate damage then your doing it wrong.

I'm just done with this.. if your not understanding my point then I guess there's no point.

I still think its a worthwhile option. Not that there isn't others to explore.
