PC on -2 in Stance Shields

Gold Ageis
- 16 armor req 12 tactics
- -2 while in a stance

Gold Defender
- 16 armor req 10 strength
- -2 while in a stance

Also, I salvaged a 10/10 sundering axe haft from a crappy axe, and I have a +30 axe grip in storage... would I be better off selling the mods or buying a 15^50 axe, modding it, and selling that?

Thanks in advance.
