This ability gives an armor bonus while you have active guard.
What do I need armor for when my guard is active ???
What am I missing here? Thanks.

All damage reduction is factored before Guard takes damage. IE: Melee, Ranged, and Magic Resistance is factored, then Armor (or vice a versa, not sure) then damage is dealt to guard.
Long and the short of it is that trust the steel will make your guard last longer, it also means that upgraded Warcry is amazeballs.
Or that would be true, if not for a bug. Instead it's only partially true. All armor bonuses (including these 2 abilities) are bugged and only apply to rear armor for S&S warriors (not sure about 2H, may apply properly on them). The only exception is the rock armor tonic. That said your S&S warrior should be deflecting most frontal attacks of any significance with shield wall anyways, so there's a good argument to be made that rear armor is more important. Still unfortunate since the bonuses are not as good as they should be.
