I have leveled up a conquerer and have started to take notice that specing more defense seems to be better than specing toward offense. When i had speced mostly frenzy abilities I would die when trying to take on 3 or more mobs a few levels above me. Now that i speced more defensive stance abilities I can take out 3 or more mobs a few levels above me alot easier.

frenzy stance and the frenzy spec abilities doesnt seem to be worth it at this point.

I noticed guardians taking out huge group of mobs hardly taking any damage, this is what led me to my defense theory being better than offense. Hince why the assasin still seems gimped.

even 1 on 1 in pvp you take such a defense penalty in frenzy youll die fast, whereas in defensive stance youll live longer and have a better chance of survival.

In my opinion i would go all out defense before they nerf defense or up offense and take advantage of killing groups of mobs for multiple exp kills.

I've played a Guardian up to 53, and a Conq up to 51. I can tell you this; anything that has +improved frenzy stance is NOT worth putting points into. Now this doesn't mean that frenzy stance is useless; all I'm saying here that you must stance dance to be effective in PvP and do better in PvE. Swap to frenzy stance when you are about to go a knockdown, do the knockdown then do a powerful combo, once your combo is over swap back to unstanced/guarded stance. Also when your opponent is running away put frenzy up.
