Turtle Stance is a Barbarian stance ability unlocked at level 40. It costs 120 mana (20 in Redux) to activate and continues to drain mana at an increasing rate over time.

Upon activation, a green bubble surrounds the Barbarian, decreasing his movement speed by 34% /90% and reducing damage taken by 90%. His jump height is also reduced greatly and his weapon damage slightly, but he cannot be stunned or webbed.

This stance pairs well with Siphon Stance if the Barbarian can't afford to Self-Heal in the middle of combat.

Investing points into Turtle Stance extends the time it can be used before the exponential mana consumption factor kicks in.
