Why Nobody Plays Warrior

their loss of mitigation is offset by defiance's increased healing received and a massive health pool. i also consider their self heals as a form of mitigation. do note that holmgang, despite shorter by 4 secs compared to hg, has way shorter cooldown than hg.

this is a fallacy. Holmgang is incredibly bad compared to HG. Though it saves my ass often enough so that I don't have anything to complain.

The problem is that you're comparing it directly to Hallowed, but it's not the same skill. Don't use it as a panic button, use it as an actual cooldown. Let your healers know when you're going to use it. Use it on stuff like Wild Charge or Revelation to avoid tank swapping. Holmgang is amazing if you're not stuck in the mindset of "I need to keep this until I'm about to die".

That's actually how Hallowed works too. o_o
