    I'm not sure if it's intentional, but you're referencing what I consider to be one of the biggest tank design mistakes in World of Warcraft. I hated Bonus Armor and everything it represented, and I absolutely would not want it here. It was one of the things that killed the game for me, and I sincerely hope SE is smarter than to implement it here.

    I would, bonus armor was like the one awesome thing tanks got.

    At least in comparison to secondary stats in this game it was a stat that mattered a huge amount.

    My life while tanking is an existential hell from which there is no escape.
