WAR changes update?

[Zakalwe]

[snip] I can't think of an instance in any MMo where self healing on this type of scale worked out. The closest would be Dark Knight from WOW but there was pretty much constant self heals and a blood shield for overhealing. Nice when you knew something was coming and just pop a big hit for the shield and ride it out.......

The Warden in LotRO also comes to mind. Wardens (soon to be disfigured beyond recognition) have been medium armoured, lower-hp, self-healing, self-buffing tanks using a unique 'gambit' method for launching skills (not through clickies). The class has worked pretty well but it has had the same problems of other self-healing tanks.

Self heals didn't scale with damage, so with every cap rise the class had to be carefully rebalanced. And even so it was always careening from ghod-like OP to broken. And even when it was gotten about right it would be excessively powerful in small group content but a little weak in tougher raid content -- relative to the standard mitigation sword and board tank known as the Guardian.
