Defensive Fighting

From TibiaWiki

Defensive fighting directs your character to focus primarily on blocking attacks. This mode will cause your character to take less damage, but they will also deal less damage when attacking a creature or another player. When defensive fighting is ticked, the character's defense level increases by 10, even if that player is using a two-handed weapon.

Defensive mode is used the most in the following situations:

• As a knight when blocking for another player.
• Sorcerers and Druids that are using Wands or Rods. Defensive mode does not affect the damage dealt by the wand or rod, so defensive mode will keep their Character from taking too much damage, without affecting their attacks.
