Be warned...you will die ALOT until you get used to steadfast. Steadfast is the main trait of MRD...once up (activates after you stay put for 10 seconds in active mode) it drastically increases your parry rate and enhances the effect of several actions, including changing skull sunder and brutal swing from single target to cone AoE.

But steadfast only lasts until you move, so its easy to cancel it...just step back.

Another important point is foresight + fracture. Foresight is a ver good defensive action (specially with steadfast up) and fracture is a very cheap WS that can only be used if following a parry (partially parry also works).

If you learn how to use Steadfast and Fracture, you might be good for a while.
i find all of that simple, my job level is 45 and i steam roll everything pretty much, im not dying at all. i just dislike the idea of foresight because all it is is just one parry for 3 ap when i could something like obsess on my bar. and you never answered, is it worth using defender at all times?
