Stat Check for Controlled Rage Adept III

[NedDevi]

<DIV>I found a post that says the Master I is +18 to Defense, anyone know what the Defense boost is on an Adept III of Controlled Rage?</DIV>

BS waste of a skill, doesnt Stack with our Stance and you take too much an agro hit for the 20% decrease in atk speed , dont even upgrade it <div></div>

<DIV>Even if it doesn't stack with the stance can you have them both up at once so that the Defence boost from Unflinching Will resumes if Controlled Rage drops during combat?</DIV>

 Strykr thats about the third time I saw you write words to that effect on that skill. ONly the first time I did not see you brag or preach on the 2 great masters you found that are prefered in your eyes as the wiser better and of course proper choice.  All I can say is it is not a BS Skill. I have its master it is +18 and it is not BS useless or a waste.  I asure you if I'm fighting near top of my level and all other defense used and my health bar starts taking little chunks out of it. IThis is usually if I solo only... I turn in the loss of agro and speed for this defense. WHEN I DO... It's a huge world of differance. I stop loosing health. I probably finish fight with 90+% health and actually gain it. In short it can make the differance between being hit or not. That is not BS Useless. Sorry if everyone did not find same masters you got. But you work with what you got and the skill has a use.  Yes IN some raid useless, Or if you got a decent healer at your side not much use but going solo it has a very notable use. +18 defense helps. I dont need more aggro if I'm all alone...

<DIV>AdeptIII is +15 defense.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And while it's true that it doesn't stack with Unflinching Will, (or the Guardian's group-wide defense buffs) I would use CR over UW on any hard raid I am tanking as I would rather take a hit to attackspeed instead of attack skill as the latter results in me eating more ripostes and taking more damage.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Easy raids (or if there's an AdeptIII'd Guardian in the group) I won't use either... And many I just use a 2H and go for DPS while tanking anyway.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I only use UW while doing lower-con stuff without a healer (usually solo), as I don't want to lose all the DPS, and a few points of attackskill don't matter as much.</DIV>
