Tank Role actions

Why less damage and more defensive focused is nerf? I wish they will make fights like titan extreme back then when the ilvl was 90. A little mistake could wipe the group and mountain buster could almost on shot you wiht tank stance up + light cd. That is what a tank should feel while fighting. Let dps do their main job properly. I think in 3.x dps is so important is because dpses cannot fully bring out thier potential due to high skill requirements. which is why Se want to reduce skill gap between harcore and casual players.

Like not every Mch can pull out 5 digit wildfire.....- -///

seems to be less damage as less defense as well none of those cross role skills other than things that where already cross class are any forms of mitigation while blood bath and rampart are gone now.

The only job that suffers from the lack of bloodbath is warrior, and they got to swap foresight for rampart in exchange, which is several times better. Paladin and dark knight lose foresight but in exchange they gained omni-directional parry and block, making bulwark and dark dance stronger. Not to mention that paladin raid mitigation skill which guarantees 100% block rate (obviously costs quite a lot of dps though) and gives 15% mitigation. Besides we still haven't seen all the new skills yet. It's not unthinkable that some of the lv 62-70 skills are defensive in nature. Heck they may even put self healing effects on some of the existing skills.

Interrupting and nerfing attacks might become far more important that popping cooldowns. 3 of the cross role tank abilities (Low Blow, Interject and Reprisal) are designed to disrupt various attacks.

Tank Busters might end up being far less common than they are now. The Paladin defensive cooldown suite is pretty much designed to handle a tank buster every 45s even without Rampart and Convalescence.

Passage of arms is a new 120s cooldown. Properly used you can have 1 cooldown for a tank buster every 45s in a 4.5 min fight. This isn't even counting Sheltron which should be up every 30s.
