Thread: Warrior "buff" in 2.1: not what we are expecting?

I suppose in Defiance, the Warrior would have an untraited Convalescence-like permabuff.

The build in +20% healing IS the Shield Oath effect albeit post damage effect but it is still almost as strong as it is. Inner Beast is no longer used for self heal cause even BEST case scenario you can only get 1,000 heal from the 100% multiplier. Current changes should be looked eye to eye as follows:

Storm Path = Rage of Halone
Inner Beast = Rampart
Foresight = Convalescence
Vengeance = Sentinel
Holmgang = Hallowed Ground

Since like my calculation stated Inner Beast is like a Rampart on 65s CD. Which pretty much sums up the difference which Bulwark and Block might provide just that one is flat magical and physical damage reduction whereas the other is chance on physical only. I've also excluded Storm Path's 50% healing which will now be more effective along with Bloodbath. My warrior is capable of crit healing for 250 from time to time 350 if I have berserk up.
