A tanking combat stance.
Decreases damage taken by 25%.
Generates 1 Rage every 3 sec while in combat.
How it works
It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 36.
What it does
Defensive Stance is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 1.5 sec cooldown and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura.
