But Warrior has always had skills like IB that ignore the Defiance penalty for damage/self-heal, and Unchained for ignoring Defiance altogether for full-ham DPS while in tank stance. Now Defiance-Unchained can be used as a defensive cooldown stance dance in Deliverance but used in an offensive way. Deliverance was easily a natural progression for the job instead of having no stance which means no stack generation, and that was rather clunky. Stance dancing also enables the ability to easily mitigate and/or get a cooldown up or do DPS depending on the situation.

Overall, stance dancing has raised the skill ceiling for the job, and some people in DF land do not play it very well or realize they have an arsenal of cooldowns they could use while in Deliverance to still get "Defiance-like" mitigation, do a lot of damage, and still tanky.
