Yeah exactly. Support knight, unlike knarb, needs to be on the pitch much longer time than the duration of Ao1. For knarb, yeah this is fine.
And talking about "9sec of precise block then 20 secs of ao1 and then survive another..." is just theory, precise block is situational spell. And also 9secs of standing still isn't very well time spent for knight for that mana cost.
Besides, the gap between OP geared knights and normal knights is just much wider now. Now knight with OP gear can still tank several fully buffed barb hits with defensive stance, where knight with common decent gear is just butter . We've tested it on Amun, so we can skip contradicting that fact
As I see it, with nerf of def stance, NGD succeeded to give ranged classes possibilities to hit knights, but completely wrecked the balance between knight and barbarian in rvr. I'd expect trade-off of those 150% AP in def stance for -40% melee damage received, not this nonsense.
