Defensive Stance is an active skill that can be learned by Warriors at level 52 and can be ranked up at later levels.
Defensive Stance can be performed with a pair of twin swords by the Warrior to activate a stance. Only one stance can be activated at any given time (the other being Assault Stance). This stance increases defense and aggro. Recommended for use only when tanking.
It is wise to always have a stance activated. Remember that after dying, the stance has to be cast again.
Strength of effect varies dependent on skill rank.
