Minor tank balancing ideas. (WAR & PLD)

[Seifu]

Yes I do realize that but the actions' potency are kept the same. Think potency y as the multiplier for your damage x. Scaling damage is done by scaling the weapon damage which affects x already but if you're scaling the multiplier y as well, that results in very varying damage.

I have had no problem with aoe hate management on PLDs and the only content I haven't beaten is turn 5. Have done adds many times and never lost hate.

Then use the block strength as a damage modifier for the attack similar to weapon damage, and keep the potency the same; it's essentially the same thing. And I'm not saying its impossible or particularly difficult to keep hate on multiple targets as a PLD, but why should WAR get so many more tools than a PLD does? Along with doing damage, WAR can maintain enmity at a much higher degree than PLD can.

Shield Bash:
Delivers an attack with a potency of 1/2 of Block Strength. (Off Global Cooldown, no TP cost.)

Those words do not mean the same thing. And you ask why warrior has more tools for AOE enmity generation? Because Paladin has slightly better defensive cooldown over time. Somewhere on the forum, people already did numbers crunching for this.
Warrior's enmity generation either: 1. not last long (Flash maybe 3 times max) 2. consumes TP without any means to generate it (Overpower, compared to Flash + Riot Blade) 3. consumes wrath stacks that could be used for Unchained or most likely Inner Beast (Steel Cyclone).
