Shielded Stance: You assume a defensive stance behind your shield that grants +15 Evasion and increases your Armor and Ward by 50%. You generate 30% more Threat in this stance, and when you first enter it you instantly generate X Threat.
---
Shielded Stance correctly increases Armor and Ward by 50% when it takes your default Armor and Ward stats from equipment.
With buffs like Defend, Rime Veil, Instant Fortress, etc., you gain +50 Armor, Ward, and Focus.
With Shielded Stance, you would expect to see those buffs give you an additional +25 Armor and Ward due to the 50% increase.
Instead, Shielded Stance does not account for those buffs and you get no additional bonus.
