Why do so many tanks never seem to use their defensive skills these days?

If I remember correctly, wasn't the damage reduction from Foresight somewhere between 3-7% in 2.0?

I'm not sure how well that reflects on the reduction it'll have in 3.0 content, but I'd imagine the results will be fairly similar. It'll be a nice little reduction to have (because why the hell not? More mitigation is more mitigation, afterall), but not anything that you can count on to actually save your life or worry about saving for the right moment as a clutch mitigation tool. Think of it more as a quality of life utility for your healers.

It's something like 8-12% when I last saw the math sussed out at the end of 2.5. It's "okay," it's just hard to really get a read on how effective it is for reducing damage. I usually pair it with Awareness, since the two of them alone aren't incredible defensive CDs.
