    Once you combine IB woth anything you have a potent combo. You really are hard to kill. Think about it this way, if you IB a tank buster, your a pld woth 25% more hp in shield oath.

    Thrill of battle+IB= pld in Sh.Oath with 50% more HP. What in the world would kill a pld with 50% more hp? Not much.

    IB+foresight (weakest CD we have)=26.4% damage reduction (to physical) on top of defiance. Better than pld in Sh.Oath with rampart (20%. The stances cancel out) but only for physical.

    Warrior isn't nearly as squishy as it looks. It's actually super sturdy vs frequent tank busters because that's what IB is great at. Taking 1 hit every 20-30 sec. It's REALLY good at that.

    Have faith in the IB. Believe in the IB. Become one with the IB. Use less CDs, use more IB. It's an on demand rampart. Nothing squishy about that.

    Agreed. WAR HP tend to yoyo a lot more than PLD HP simply due to the nature of their tank stance (and you'll notice even more hp gain/loss on top of that if the WAR is stance dancing because their HP pool itself shrinks and grows). As a healer it can be a little alarming at first (seriously you think they're gonna die), but you get used to it. The self-healing is absolutely nuts, though. I've critted myself for nearly 14k with Equilibrium, 5k with Second Wind, and Bloodbath actually helps quite a bit on AoE pulls.

    Good WARs are an absolute joy to heal. They use their cooldowns effectively and use their self-healing in such a way that it extends the healer's DPS windows dramatically. Bad WARs are about the squishiest thing with a blue icon and require constant babysitting.

    You'd be better off saying IB + Foresight = Rampart + Foresight. Don't forget that Paladins can cross-class Foresight.

    So really you're just reiterating that IB = Rampart, albeit only for 6 seconds at a time and requiring a GCD. :3
