Minor tank balancing ideas. (WAR & PLD)

[Dhex]

What part about of our mitigation cooldowns only lasting a few seconds, while Warriors always have 3k+ more HP than Paladins, do you not understand?

Paladins in Shield Oath take 20% less damage innately.

Warriors have 25% more HP but take full damage.

They equalize.

6000HP PLD Shield Oath -> 5000 DMG (-20% Damage) -> 4000DMG = 2000 HP left (33.33% HP Total remaining)

6000HP WAR +25% HP -> 7500 HP -> 5000DMG = 2500 HP left (33.33% Total HP remaining)

It's called eHP.


edit: Post above mine used more detailed numbers read that one.

They equalize...

Tho the math looks logical on the paper, in real fight situation.. and In the long run the % reduction will win.

Even in a scenario where a mobs uses 2 attack with 1 sec in between....just enough to throw a single cure.


PLD:

Monster does 5000dmg.

PLD(6000HP) = remaining PLD(2000HP)

Healer cures for 3000hp > PLD(5000HP)

Monster Attacks 5000HP (Immediately following one cure).

PLD(5000HP) > PLD(1000HP).


WAR:

Monster does 5000dmg.

WAR(7500HP) = remaining WAR(2500HP)

Healer cures for 3000hp > WAR(5500HP)

Monster does 5000. (Immediately following one cure).

WAR(5500HP) > WAR(500HP)


Of course, i could have tweaked the numbers so the WAR would die and PLD would live with some HP.

If you're giving the PLD a 3000 cure, you need to give the WAR a 1.2x3000=3600 cure due to defiance healing bonus. Your numbers end up as:

PLD:

Monster does 5000dmg.

PLD(6000HP) = remaining PLD(2000HP) ~33.33% HP remains

Healer cures for 3000hp > PLD(5000HP)

Monster Attacks 5000HP (Immediately following one cure).

PLD(5000HP) > PLD(1000HP). ~16.67% HP remains


WAR:

Monster does 5000dmg.

WAR(7500HP) = remaining WAR(2500HP) ~33.33% HP remains

Healer cures for 3600hp > WAR(6100HP)

Monster does 5000. (Immediately following one cure).

WAR(6100HP) > WAR(1100HP) ~14.67% HP remains

As a side note: if you heal the PLD to full from here, the WAR is left with 7100/7500 HP, or 94.67% HP remaining. If the fight continues this way, the gap gets wider. From my experience, however, it just means it's easier to overcure a PLD. Also, IB does a really, really good job of helping to close that gap.
