In French it sounds more like you have 10% and 3 GCDs, that's it. (Which is worse than the previous 6 seconds RoE, because monk GCD allows more than 3GCDs in 6 seconds, right?)

Anyway, we'll see in a few hours!

The English text says that you get 3 stacks, "each stack reducing damage taken by 10% and nullifying all action direction requirements". This means that when you first use it, you have -30% damage taken. After you use one weaponskill it goes down to -20%. After the second weaponskill, -10%. The protection wears off with the third weapon skill. If you don't use three weaponskills before the 10s pass, you forfeit the remaining stacks of TrueNorth-ish.

Unrelated to its effect, it has 3 maximum charges that recharge one per 30s.
