- Buff or debuff text: nothing → “A defensive combat stance. Decreases damage taken by 10% and damage caused by 10%. Increases all threat generated by 30%.”
Learned from
Learned from the quest Path of Defense at level 10, not from the Warrior trainer. Its reward also teaches Sunder Armor, Taunt. Speculation: this is Classic's class quest; its reward spell is in the Forever client, but nobody has confirmed the quest in Forever yet.
