thank you SE for realizing that warrior were gimped in endgame

I would think the ideal changes would be

moving the healing bonus to defiance at full potency always. Extra hp means jack all without that part anyways
give defiance a small like 2% per stack damage reduction but once you hit infuriated it becomes a use it or lose it situation and you have to stack up again
give heavy swing additional effect: when under defiance stun target for whatever length

for a start at least

All depends on how they do it. Leaving so one greatly out preforms the other has no diversity either since everyone will end up as the better option at the end of the day, in this case you will only see paladins. If on the other hand they change things while sticking as close to the mechanics of the class as possible then it helps revive the diversity as both will now be unique and completely functional. In this case they would have to stick to warrior being a recovery tank and not focus on just giving it a ton of mitigation skills that mirror what the paladin does.

so yes, let keep some classes underpowered and do nothing about it, so there can be some "diversity"

and by diversity" i mean weak and totally not viable classes for endgame. as it is now, good luck trying to get in coil or titan HM via premades for a WAR tank because NOONE WANT YOU as PLD tanks make endgame so much easier to heal, interrupt and survive heavy hits.

btw, i want you guys who go on about "different tanks is good for different content" to tell me which end game coil or hardmode primal that WAR tanks outshine a pld tank at?

seriously tell me.

Not while both are in tanking stance, but yes warriors do somewhat more.
