Ever since they changed the ability with the combat patch I’ve never gotten around to testing it.
I’ve tested it and it’s pretty pathetic if you’re not willing to put at least 10 points into the skill(the duration is too short at low levels, so you have to recast often to not lose the stacking defence decrease effect).
Once you’ve got aroiund 10 points invested it’s supposed to be quite useful for long-lasting battles, e.g. those pesky world bosses who have around 300+ million HP, maybe even in ET, but for the most PVE content it’s pretty much useless as monsters don’t have that much defence to begin with (around 1k) and die way too early to give you the oppurtunity to stack enough 0,3/0,45% defence decreases.
Also, as the stack count is limited to 100 stacks, the most you can get out of the skill is 30%/45% defence reduction and once the mob leaves the circle the stacks reset…

Tested it and i agree with reportofausterity
And it doesnt seem to reach 0.3% per stack on player. No idea on monster
I would think the only worth levelling this skill is when you are a monk and you are often doing bossing which is also immobile. Other than that, it’s just plain waste of skill point.
Nope. lv 1 also doesn’t cut it. you need higher lv
question,
does it also decrease magic defense?
Not sure. I feel it helps a bit on def but it is very slow, probably worth for monarch
im interested if bokor zombies would make better use of it
