Please help me understand something concerning Defensive Stance?

t.claudio.usnub18_ESO
esohead.com/skills/41352-defensive-stance

Reflects next spell projectile back at attacker and stuns them for 2.333 seconds when activated.Increases block mitigation by 2.333 seconds and reduces block cost by 8% when slotted.

What in the heck does that mean? "Increases block mitigation by 2.333 seconds" this makes no sense to me at all, block is a hold button ability correct? then whats with the seconds?

    ESOHead tooltip is wrong. It actually says "increases block mitigation by x%" where the number is the same as in block cost.

    ESOhead is right, I just checked in game and it says the same thing as ESOhead.

    We need a DEV to clear this up, I have searched the internet with no luck on this.

    I'm pretty sure it means that we can travel back in time. I'm going to need some to try it out and leave a message in the past for me so I can discover it in the present.

    lol, maybe, but yeah ESO needs to do a tooltip patch like yesterday, I bet there are thousands of players who messed up on there morphs due to this tooltips and spend thousands of gold as a result of respecs.

    But that's what they want you to do, spend a ridiculous amount of gold so everyone stays poor. When everyone is poor, they're all equal and to ZM that's ok. WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO BE POOR MENG?

    Hmm, you are right. I was thinking about Defensive Posture, which has a correct tooltip. Absorb Magic has a flat number instead of percentage... So I guess it isn't clear what Stance was supposed to get.

    I took the reflect/ stun morph. I'm pretty sure the tooltip is wrong and pulling the wrong variable. The skill seems to have the same mitigation bonus as posture (8%), but adds the stun.
