2.1 WAR PVE First impression

[Sargon]

I respectfully disagree for Holmgang = Hallowed ground, and this is why I say we're still lacking a big defensive CD.
At best, is some very specific cases, Holmgang can be 60% of Hallowed ground. Plus it cannot be used on stuff targeting you, and most of the times not when it matters (incoming mountain buster, caduceus with too many stacks, ...).

I popped Holmgang for fun when my party wiped near the end of Ultima, with all cannons shooting me.
It was quite funny to see all these 500ish damage hits appearing on the screen and not dying.
I think it can be really usefull if used properly.

It's not mitigation, it's more like an ultimate chance to pop benediction or healer LB3.

Is there a distance limitation for the use of Hallowed Ground as well because Holmgang needs both a target and that target to be in range. This basically means that it won't be useful for avoiding largely threatening ranged nukes that would have killed you.

Gotta agree with this. Hallowed is better than Holmgang in every measurable dimension short of its cooldown in terms of tanking. That being said Hallowed is a safety net that "shouldn't" be needed. WAR lacking hallowed or something equal is fine.
