I'm looking forward to the update and as far as I'm concerned it can't come soon enough.
Ps I love the people moaning that have pld avatars, go home paladins you need a new job.

Yeah idk what they were thinking giving overpower more enmity. Before I even got my relic I was able to hold huge packs just using it with relic'd +1'd dds going all out aoe. Is there an issue with wars holding group hate in coil or something?

I was expecting tweaks to already existing buffs and changes to self heals etc. Not the whole class and their "way of tanking" being changed, while still maintaining almost all the "base" benefits he had. All he lost was self heal capabilities, which weren't his "omg I can't tank w/o these" skills anyway and instead he gained passive buffs and overall damage mitigation which puts him ahead quite a bit.

Well with current changes a well timed and played Warrior should get more active eHP than Paladin. It still doesn't clear the fact that Paladin have better passive eHP via Shield Oath + Block. Not to mention for all it's worth Defiance is still a Post DMG mitigation which is by and far always inferior to Pre DMG mitigation. And Thrill of Battle is just a damage buffer. Healers still have to heal the missing HP when it is gone for it to be useful for the remainder of it's duration, and Thrill of Battle does no justice in making heals heal that extra buffer with the same amount, your healer's HPS is still static.

People just need to start looking that Warriors bring a more viable tank debuff and so does Paladin, both have unique skills for specific conditions hence both are welcomed to a party to minimize party damage taken.

And as many have stated Holmgang is being at the brink of mortality whilst Hallowed Ground is literally invulnerable. Which is also good in a way since healer won't have to heal hence won't generate any more threat and easier to notice. Whereas Holmgang though the warrior may not die, a healer will still panic and attempt to heal him and he still gets drop to 1 HP instead of waiting for some time to later to heal him to maximize Holmgang's effect. Do note that Holmgang you still take damage you just won't fall over until it is over.
