; Issue
: 60 recharge is way too long for a solely defensive skill (this has no speed buff). Compare this to Natural Stride and Dark escape which allow avoiding damage altogether by getting away.
; Suggestion
: Reduce recharge to 30 (~1/3 uptime). I'd imagine it would make it more useful as protection from elemental damage.
: Reduce elemental armor at the bottom end to make it roughly 25...40...60 (+34...55...60 armor means even at low rank it has immense strength) , since it is unlikely someone will be running higher than 12 wilderness survival anyway
: Make it block only projectile attacks
: "ends when hexed" (to fit with wilderness survival theme) [if it sees abuse]
: Increase to 10 energy so it is more ranger-oriented [if it sees abuse on nonrangers, maybe]
PvE suggestion:
:Make Dryders use it so that Barrage+ elemental damage are not as viable everywhere

== Recharge time is too long ==

; Issue
: Recharge makes this obsolete.

; Suggestion
: Increase energy to 15, reduce recharge to 20. Reduce elemental armor buff slightly. This stance should end if you use a skill on another ally.

;Suggestion
:Half duration, make recharge 15. Good anti spike for monks, along w/ Natural Stride. Maybe a bit OPed.

;Suggestion
:Make recharge 30. Slightly lower duration. Ends if you cast a spell.

:: "Elite Stance. For {{gr|5|11}} seconds, you run 25-33% faster and have +{{gr|34|60}} armor against elemental damage."

Stances don't have cast times... [[Special:Contributions/66.75.136.251|66.75.136.251]] 00:54, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
:3/4s cast for a '''stance'''? lol wut?
::WUT WUT? stances don't have cast time, and even if that was non-elite I wouldn't bring it.

== Recharge of 60 ==
; Issue
: As above, nasty recharge (twice that of [[Lightning Reflexes]] which gives you a better secondary effect - rangers already have high elemental armour anyway.
; Suggestion
: Slash the recharge to 30 or even 20. Then maybe decrease armour bonus and block chance a bit and/or add a bit of a speed boost or whatever. A la:
:: 5 {{energy}} 25 {{recharge}}
:: [[Stance]]. For {{gr|5|11}} seconds, you gain a 66% chance to [[block]] [[attack]]s and +{{gr|20|55}} armor against [[elemental damage]]. While [[near]] a [[foe]], you also run 33% faster.
: This would make it a good skill to use for kiting away from melee foes as well as blocking them while also giving you a massive armour bonus against elemental damage, making it an all-around good defence skill, but crucially it no longer suffers from the horrendous recharge. The armour bonus and block chance have been decreased a bit to prevent grief for people trying to harm someone using this, though (especially since it could be used to ''chase'' foes too - I mean, nobody wants more SWay abuse as a sorta non-elite [[Escape]] with an armour bonus).

==[[User:Bathory|Bathory]]'s Issue 00:50, 5 April 2009 (UTC)==
[[User_talk:Bathory/Suggestions/Ranger#Dryder's Defenses|Comments & Suggestions Here, Please]]
;Issue
:Large recharge for an effect that doesn't really help primary rangers, and is definantly not as powerful as [[Whirling Defense]]. Remodeling it to owrk more like [[Natural Strike]] would give it reason to be used more. The huge amount of armor is un-necessary and can be toned down a lot to fit the skill better. As Natural Stride has an IMS, it would still be more popular than this.
;Suggestion
:{{skill data|5|0|12}}
:'''Stance.''' ({{gr|1|8}} seconds) You have 75% change to block and +24 armor against elemental damage. ''Ends if you are Hexed or Enchanted.''
