Thread: WAR 2.1 Patch Notes

A healing bonus will not allow your tank to survive a big hit, and neither bonus is relevant to that. The more accurate comparison is that Shield Oath reduces the amount of healing required by 20% while Defiance reduces it by 16.667

With no wrath stacks (no defiance healing), a war with 8000 hp requires 8000 hp to be healed full from 0. With wrath stacks, the same war requires ~6957 hp to be healed full from 0. The amount of healing reduced is 8000 - 6957 = 1043. The amount reduced as a portion of the whole is 1043 / 8000 = ~0.13. Defiance (currently) reduces healing required by 13%.

We're talking about the proposed buff, which moves it to a 20% fixed bonus instead of a 15% variable one. You're right about current Defiance, but that's not the topic.

sorry, misunderstood. Didn't read the post you were replying to carefully enough. Thought they were arguing that there wasn't much difference between the current versions of Shield Oath/Defiance. They weren't, I was mistaken.
