    WAR personal mitigation is excellent as always, same with Paladin. They both kept their best defensive abilities and even received better versions of them in the form of WAR's new Raw Intuition (20% mitigation for 5 seconds every 25 seconds) and PLD's Shelltron (Guaranteed blocks for 6 seconds). Only thing they really lost was Anticipation, Awareness, Convalescence, WAR's loss of Inner Beast and the nerf to block dropping it down to 15% mitigation from 20% in SB which affects PLD.

    DRK's personal mitigation remains largely unchanged, but TBN is now a stronger shield. Their AoE mitigation buff is unfortunately magic damage only, same as dark mind, so they're a bit on the weaker side when it comes to personal mitigation against physical damage but that's nothing new for the job and TBN's stronger shield and 15s cooldown help make up for it somewhat. They also lost their self sustain from Sole Survivor and AD spam, though AD is still in the game and actually heals for quite a bit more despite its hefty cooldown.

    GNB's where some problems arise, but even then it's not too bad. In addition to the 20/30% cooldowns they have a 10% DR buff paired with 50% increased parry rate (Camouflage), on demand 15% mitigation every 25 seconds (Heart of Stone), an AoE magic damage mitigation buff matching DRK's and they can give themselves both shields and an HP regen, though the latter two are extremely weak and barely noticeable. They're the worst of the four tanks when it comes to defenses, but they're still capable of tanking just fine even if they do need a slight buff.
