    taking 20% less damage is the same thing as having 25% more hp

    paladin has 100 HP with shield oath on, warrior has 125 HP with defiance on

    they both take a 100 damage hit

    paladin mitigates it to 80, survives with 20 HP, 20% of his total

    warrior takes the full 100, survives with 25 HP, 20% of his total

    the passive mitigation has always been balanced, it's the fact that 5x wrath only gave 15% that caused the gap, coupled with paladin cooldowns...

    Yeah, I get it now.

    PLD has 100 HP, WAR has 125HP and the lowest hit that can kill a PLD is a 125 damage hit, same as a WAR.

    All right thanks.
