T7 pvp sk's what stance do you use?

[Eluzay]

I have always been a BIG fan of defensive stance in pvp, in my 50's it was god mode I could kill anyone in my tier. Now I am unsure of which stance to use though defensive does actually work pretty well.so just curious what the pkin pvp sk's are doing with stances at T7<div></div>

<P>You can try for yourself, but personally, as tank in ANY group, I hold agro much better when offensive because I put out a lot more DPS. typically, my brigs/scouts can allow themselves to put out more DMG also while I am offensive - so mobs go down quicker, end result, all that matters. </P> <P>We have many heals/wards and people to get our back for the defensive aspect, so throw out some damage, and kill 2 birds with 1 stone.</P> <P> </P>

Thought I would sneak a post in while checking PMs...Never leave Def stance in pvp..your basically a sitting duck w/o it <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

only problem with that idea pk is that dmg in pvp dosnt determan agro.  taunts are what lock targets to us not the dmg we do.  It seems that way if you get the first hit but all they gotta do is tab or make a /target key and they are off unless we are taunting.  I gotta say defence stance and let the mages do the dps

<DIV>Sheild bash locks target, group taunt locks target, single taunt changes target every 3 seconds.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Being in offensive/defensive stances really doesnt change any of this. Offensive stance will increase your DPS, which helps ALOT in PvP, however, Defensive will mean that you aren't taking as much damage and your taunts arent resisted as much.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Make your choices.</DIV>
