Thank you for the link. I had missed this before. Great post.

I think the only reason for any resistance to your comments come from whatever Warriors are used to doing that they feel special about, such as already only using Inner Beast with Infuriate such that the flat-scaling conflict seems to be skipped over, etc. The Wrath-heal coupling makes us choose between burst restoration and heal scaling when used more than per minute, which often makes the job feel more interesting, but I'll agree that it is probably more like a prized war wound.

I'm sure I'll get used to whatever changes are brought out, but especially since I don't plan on grabbing separate AF+1 gear for each tank, I'd like to have separate reasons for playing my PLD vs. my Warrior for a particular fight. I'd like them to remain separate in feeling, though I certainly wouldn't mind Warrior feeling a little twitchier, as the short-duration mitigation plans to make it. That's all from a gameplay-enjoy-ability perspective though, which is still at the mercy of actual balancing.
