Affects Ability warrior defensivestance [Defensive Stance]

Functionality[]

Defiance increases the threat generated by your attacks and abilities in Ability warrior defensivestance [Defensive Stance]. The threat increase is multiplicative with the Defensive Stance threat modifier.

Notes[]

For a tanking Warrior, Defiance is a very useful ability. It increases the Warrior's base threat multiplier in Defensive Stance to 149.5%. This multiplier applies to all threat produced by the Warrior, from auto-attacks to abilities with innate threat such as Ability rogue ambush [Heroic Strike], Ability warrior revenge [Revenge], Ability warrior sunder [Sunder Armor], Ability warrior shieldbash [Shield Bash] and Inv shield 05 [Shield Slam], and the damage components of these abilities as well. It applies to Ability warrior warcry [Demoralizing Shout] and Ability warrior battleshout [Battle Shout] as well.
