Warrior stance swapping is broken, please fix SE
I think this is a glaring issue, and it seriously affects warriors tanking capabilities.
When a warrior needs to change to its tank stance, either from dps phases of fights or during a tank swap, then applying defiance ONLY gives you the healing bonus, but initially leaves you partially depleted of HP. This prevents a warrior from taking any immediate tank busters, while PLD and DRK instantly get their 20% mitigation from their buffs.
I feel I am being unfairly punished for this and more and more groups are refusing to take warriors to end game content because of this issue.
Please change defiance so a warrior is replenished the appropriate amount of hp to prevent this issue from making warrior literally unplayable in end game.
