Warriors - How to fix our damage mitigation

[Dhex]

-

Warrior has to react to the situation at hand; you can shorten a Wrath V with Infuriate (60s) by utilizing Berserk (90s) or Vengeance (120s) what I don't understand is how you close the gaps. Ideally you'd initiate a phase like the following:

s = seconds sr = seconds remaining

Defiance (-25% DMG +25% HP)
Infuriate -> Wrath V (10% Crit Rate 15% Heal Potency)
Heavy Swing -> Maim (+20% DMG) -> Storm's Eye (Slashing Resist -10%)

At this point you're at (20s) +5% DMG (20~26sr) +10% Crit +15% Healing

(Heavy Swing -> Skull Sunder -> Butcher's Block ~ Hate Est. - Repeat as needed.)

Maintain Wrath V until taking significant DMG -> Shift to self-healing cycle.

Foresight 20% DEF (20s)

Bloodbath +25% DMG dealt to HP (30s) (25~50HP @ GCD + Auto Attack)

@20sr mark on Bloodbath -> Unchained (20s) +25% DMG -> Vengeance (15s) on hit 50 Potency Attack returned (1 Wrath) -> Internal Release +20% Crit Rate (15s) -> Berserk (20s) +50% ATK (1 Wrath) 5s Pacification @ end of effect.

At this point if perfect with Maim & Storm's Eye -> Crit Rate +20% (15sr) 25% DMG to HP (20sr) +45% DMG (20sr) -10% Slashing Resist (10~15sr) 50 Potency ATK returns (15sr) +50% ATK (20sr) with Wrath II

Heavy Swing (2.48~.5GCD) -> Maim (2.48~.5GCD) -> Storms Path (2.48~.5CD) 75% = HP Return

At this point -> 20% Crit Rate (7.5sr) 25% DMG to HP (12.5sr) +45% DMG (12.5sr) -10% Slashing Resist (7.5sr) 50 Potency ATK returns (7.5sr) +50% ATK (7.5sr) with Wrath IV

Heavy Swing (2.48~.5GCD) -> Maim*

At this point -> +15% Healing Pot 30% Crit Rate (5sr) 25% DMG to HP (10sr) +45% DMG (10sr) -10% Slashing Resist (2.5sr) 50 Potency ATK returns (5sr) +50% ATK (10sr) with Wrath V

Inner Beast @ Crit +20% +45% DMG -10% Slash Resist +50% ATK -> 325% DMG returned as HP

Infuriate (if up)-> Inner Beast (2nd) or Hold Wrath V for Healer to return HP -> Berserk 40s Recast, Bloodbath 30s Recast, Infuriate 60s Recast, Vengeance 100~105s Recast, Internal Release 45s Recast, Unchained 160s Recast

Rough. You're banking on having Infuriate and a double set of critical hit Inner Beast to mitigate roughly 4,500~5,000 DMG. Bloodbath is going to give you a 900-1,000HP pad for auto-attacks.

Situation and luck dependent in the extreme.

nice math, but still, you Need to use aaaaaaaaaaaaalll this, for 2 good heals, and you can repeat taht only all 2min.
So the rest of the time, u dont have any CD more and just eat the hits from Boss.
Bloodbath like StormsPath are just a bad joke. The Selfheal from These 2 Abilities sucks endless. do you think a Healer feels the Selfheal from These 2 Ablilities? never ever.

SE Should Buff StormyPath and Bloodbath.

Like Paladin, when a Paladin use his 40% dmg reduce, the Healer knows, "ok i can go easy now for few seconds"
When Warrior use Bloodbath the Healer think "wtf is taht? should that be a Selfheal Support? rofl... spaaming Cure II"-----

Yeah it just doesn't function well within party dynamics - it's also a large gap between chances to heal yourself and you need to be perfect to do it. Nobody is that perfect all the time no matter the situation.
