Title. The recently added weapon, the Guardian Rod (sold by Ynes in Tychris), lists in its description a special effect of: "Special Effect: On a weapon attack critical hit, you gain Defending for a turn."
However, testing this both with weapon powers ("Sure Shot," mostly), and the basic-bitch "Attack" button, critical hits fail to grant the Champion the "Defending" boon.
