Defiance still lacking in comparison to Shield Oath

[Derza]

You just said that a skill that causes you to heal for anywhere from 70-100 hp every 2.5 seconds for 30 seconds is enough to offset 20% damage mitigation. Think about that for a second.

I said nothing of the sort... I said the combination of the warrior healing skills as well as keeping bloodbath up every time its off cooldown will offset it. Sure if you ignore EVERYTHING I typed before that line i could see how that could be confusing for you.

see this line i wrote "... they compare the damage reductions that paladins have to the ones warriors have and totally ignore all the self heals warriors have?" you just did that... again. I assumed by saying ALL the warrior self heals that i wouldn't have to list them all... guess i was wrong... so here you go... If you use Bloodbath, secondwind, thrill of battle, storms path, and inner beast you can easily offset the damage mitigation that paladins get.
