If I recall, it generates more Beast stacks. So we've seemingly lost our self healing god-mode from HW, but I'm betting we're still going to be the offensive tank, with PLD being defensive, and DRK being 'alf-'n'-'alf. I'm excited to see how the new mechanics work. There is also an outside chance we've still got Bloodbath, but we've certainly lost Second Wind, Flash, and Internal Release. I am quite happy with glowy eyes, punching people, and penta-cleaving. Here's hoping the numbers make us viable, and it doesn't go all 2.0 on us and unable to survive Twintania.
