Guild Wars 2

Last Stand: Activates Balanced Stance when you are dazed, knocked down, launched, pushed back, or stunned. This effect can only trigger once every 90 seconds.

If the warrior already has stability on, they won’t suffer from any of those effects. So, why does Last Stand activate anyways, when a stun etc is inflicted on a warrior that already has stability on?

For such a tremendously long internal cooldown, one would think Last Stand should function the way it says so: activating stability when you need it. Right now, it just activates whenever a control skill is used on the warrior, regardless if the warrior actually is affected by the stun etc or not.

I wouldn’t mind seeing some sort of visible recharge bar for traits like that, myself, so that I know in a split second whether to rely on Last Stand or to pop my utility. At least then it wouldn’t result in me using the utility, thinking LS is on CD, only to end up using both because of what you’re saying.

I believe defy pain does something similar, it will proc even if you are already under endure pain as long as you are under 25% and get hit.
