i've been saying we need a third stance since this hit test, it will help solve a number of issues with duoing and offtanking, you get no bonuses for no stance but detaunts are much less. basically not allowing you to hold aggro against a high DPS class.
for offensive stance you can up the damage taken and take out detaunts for example but how much is too much? some of us still like to solo. 10% would borderline breaking our ability to solo half decently. i feel the 5% through all of my temporaries already and can barely manage on mobs i used to do fairly easily. i would rather not see the whole class change completely but it might be inevitable. a DPSing offtank taking 10% more damage against TSO epics, even trash, won't be very effective no matter how quick you are to react.

Ill trade you my balanced stance for your ability to use shields.
