I see, I used butchers block to avoid slashing debuff and to prevent myself from accumulating too much gauge to start critting. I didn't want to add in other variables. So this still leaves me with the question of why defiance seems to raise upheaval by so much (well over 25% and closer to 50%) when thrill of battle does not produce such results in deliverance.
