Default Frenzied Defense overpowered?

This skill seems to be pissing a lot of PvP'ers off. Yeah it a great defensive skill, but...during KD (Knock-Down) I feel this skill should be void. Using a Anti-Block KD then trying to follow up on it is useless, because Frenzied Defense is still active even during the KD process. A melee character must use yet another unblockable skill to follow up on the KD, which makes running an attacking build even more difficult with having to make a less damaging adjustment for this problem.

Vote: Remove Frenzied Defense stance if KD occurs OR make it so that it is non-effective whilst Knocked Down.

[frenzied defense] is far from overpowered, unless you're only facing melee characters.

Usually, There's a decent chunk of caster damage in every spike. I've seen more people with [[frenzied defense] blow up than save themselves with the skill. [[disciplined stance] or [[soldier's defense] is a way better alternative, even though they require you to spec in tactics.

live with it, swap targets and let your casters blow up the monk.

Frenzied Defense is fine as it is - it's two bladed enough ...

Rip/rend their Prot spirit off and strike em with lightning orb or what not ... it's fun, trust me.

LOL

Frenzied Defense leaves you open for a world of hurt. Sure its probably a decent skill in RA because you might match up against all physical teams, but Eles, Mesmers, Necros, Rits, etc. can easily make it the worst skill on your bar.

This is the part where I say "lolu" isn't it?

Don't use it if you're against certain teams.
