I tend to agree here, haven't made the decision if I'll push for him or not, just spending daily stamina so far.
I'm primarily offensive, but I've stacked a few defensive LTs for when I'm really needed to defend. Problem for me is that it's such a rare occasion.
I would probably lower the respect per proc. Remove the using one when attacking. Make it gain 2 respect per token spent. To make it event worthy would probably give a %defensive boost as well.
New power: gain 2 respect per token spent, while defending each respect mitigates 30% of incoming damage. Provides +% defense when out of respect.
