Bracing Anchor: the new blocking star

It states:
"Bracing Anchor: Increases Block Mitigation by 4% per stage but lowers your movement speed by 16% at all stages, 5 stages, 10 points per stage"
So if I understand it right this means when I BLOCK on my tank I'll mitigate a total of 20% extra dmg but be slowed by 80% right at its maximum potential right?
Or maybe it means I'll be 16% slower permanently despite doing 1 stage or doing all 5 stages?
This is ONLY while blocking right? Please say it is..
Because if I take this star and my Tank is permenantly slowed good luck running a dungeon with your Tank. You'll have cleared the entire dungeon before he catches up to the first boss. Heavy armor already slows your character.....

ajkb78✭✭✭✭✭No, that reads that whatever stage you're at you get snared by 16%, they've clearly separated the per stage block mitigation from the constant snare.1

✭✭✭But is it a permanent snare or only while blocking?
If I take the skill I'll be permanently 16% slower? Already 7% slower from 7 heavy armor.. It adds up if these are permanent effects xD
Also
Why is only the Tanking CP penalized? Where is the do 20% more dmg but lose 20% recovery for the other classes stars?

Ikr, the cp being slottable is a trade off already. Another cp star that it useless lol1 -

✭Just checked, yes, you are slowed all the time as long as you are in combat. You can mitigate it a bit with another new slottable that increases your overall movement speed, but that wastes the slot.2 -

Wow, if that's the case, then absolutely NO ONE would ever even consider using this. Block mitigation is not worth having to crawl through dungeons at a snail's pace.
If ZOS wants to make a CP star come with sacrifices, then they need to make it so that the rewards outweigh the sacrifice, not the sacrifice outweigh the reward.1 -

✭Its a set that is meant to be situationally useful. For instance...The Warrior in vHRC(not that this is a difficult fight or that this is needed there, just an example) you literally do not move at all during that fight. In a particularly bad group, the extra 20% mitigation may come in handy if you aren't getting enough heals or synergies. Its a set you would only slot for fights where movement speed doesn't much matter. A less extreme version of ironblood. Speaking of which, paired with ironblood and pirate skeleton you could probably tank the stonekeeper in vFV pretty easily without a healer at all.
That being said it is something you would not run in most circumstances...especially fights that require you to move a lot.1
