*New build on the PTR*

Q u o t e:

Protection

* Improved Defensive Stance now increases Physical damage caused by 5/10% for 12 sec. (Old - melee damage)

Doesn't look like much when you first look at it but consider how many abilities we have that do physical damage but isn't melee..

Damage Shield
Shockwave
Thunderclap

All three pivotal in generating AoE threat and will now do 10% more damage.

But that isn't all!

ALL our abilities will do 5% more damage because of the damage buff to defensive stance a few builds ago. These changes equal a 15% damage and therefore threat buff to Thunderclap, Shockwave and Damage Shield. That seems like a pretty awesome buff to our AoE threat and DPS in general.

Very nice.

Edit: Also will cause Heroic Throw to do 15% more damage, nice increased initial threat boost.

Imp Defensive Stance affected all physical damage since 3.0.2 or so. The fix was just to the tooltip.
