reduce damage taken

ok now warrior will get buff and i hope it will be like this :

-add reduce damage taken to Defiance by 15% and Increases parry rate by 25%.
-add 40 seconds more to Unchained and add ( reflect damage ).
-Converts ?? % of the damage dealt by Steel Cyclone into HP............. and take off (Can only be executed when Infuriated -All Wrath is lost when used ) and make it normal skill.


or what you see ?

Maybe your first suggestion. Likely a new damage reduction buff similar to rampart.

The rest is just wishful thinking I'm afraid.

-% Damage Taken won't reach Warriors, they won't take the easy route to make Warriors comparable to Paladin. It's important to avoid homogeneity between the two tanks.

1. +25% HP +25% Parry +15% Damage Reduction +15% healing + 10crit in one passive ability? ...Way to Overpowered.
2. So essential you will be doing more DPS than a actual DPS class making it ez mode tanking for 1min while still enjoying the benefits of (Your New) Defiance... Again OP.
3. Doesnt sound bad if % of hp absord isnt too high or a Cool down is added. If not This would essential become a AoE Storm Path That is Spamable without doing a combo. Let say it recovered 50%, it would recover about 100-200 per target hit. Say your fighting 4-5 you mobs, you would recover 800-1000 every 2.5 secs..... See what wrong with that ? You would eliminate a need for Healer for most fights and if you pop bloodbath to that and you would have a tank that would never die with the exception of Boss fights.

Instead of a flat reduction to damage taken, Warrior is the High HP, damage sponge tank. I would much rather have an ability that is equal to a paladin's in terms of eHP, without seeming like a carbon copy of the skill. Like say a move much like sentinel, only instead of reducing damage taken by 40% for the duration, we heal 40% of the damage done to us during the duration. That way our HP constantly goes down, albeit at a lessened rate and essentially uses the extra HP from defiance as a sponge to heal back (mitigate) the damage.

Both of the skills effectively reduce damage taken by 40% for the entirety of the buff, while making the play styles of the tanks polar opposites, this is the only way I believe warrior can be balanced with a paladin and not be a carbon copy.

As long as they're the same CD, buff duration, and eHP gain...the skills can be polar opposites and be completely balanced.

sooner or later will see WAR asking for the same thing as pld stick WAR as DPS I'm sure they will bring a class like a ninja to tank lol

Parry % would be good but damage reduction won't happen.

Healing bonus from defiance rather than wrath stacks is more likely.

Or allow healing bonus to last longer after IB i.e. Healing and crit bonus goes 5s after wrath has been used. Means you don't have to wait for that cure before you IB.

I say additional parry percent along with strength increase
