This is a pretty uninformed opinion honestly. Being able to attack something before it attacks you could be a BIG swing in the amount of damage you take. You could essentially kill off a 1HP ettin that would have otherwise hit you for 5-8 DMG.

Also, say your knight is a few spaces ahead of the party and the monster wants to attack your healer or mage behind you..well you could stop it in its tracks right there. It doesn't require you to be attacked, or even you to be the target, or there to be any target.

Lastly, compare the whole kit of each class, not just the individuals skills. Knights could easily afford to spend 2 stam on this because they use stam very little compared to some other warrior classes.

Side note, I find it funny that both yours and my comments both occured on christmas haha.
