defensive stance 10% block/mitigation bonus should be add to the s&b passives

give fortress and sword and board these numbers and let us unslot defensive stance if we do not want to use a shield. its an incredibly boring and annoying spell to slot, its just not useful because of the insane stamina cost on the use and tanks generally won't use shields for themselves so its just not as good as boneshield. but you still have to slot it for the passives which is lame

would be nice if it actually had something unique about its activation like a synergy or something or entirely different.

It is so unique that tanks use it to tank vSS lokke from range.

Also, nobody is forcing you to slot it, it is not an essential skill for tanks. And the fact you are slotting it proves that it is better than bone shield, thanks to the passives.
