    The logic ?
    Simple:
    Shield Oath effect is reducing damage by 20%. It's basically 25% more eHP.
    Defiance gives you 25% more HP, it's basically 25% more eHP.

    So, for the same hit, PLD and WAR lose the same ratio of HP, providing they have the same base HP (Which is wrong, even if the difference is slim)

    Example :
    PLD HP = 5000
    WAR HP = 5000
    incoming damage = 1000

    PLD gets hit for 800 with Shield Oath : 5000 - 800 = 4200 HP remaining HP (84% HP)
    WAR uses Defiance and take the hit : 5000*1.25 = 6250 HP - 1000 = 5250 HP remaining (84% HP)

    Now, for the healing part, Shield Oath doesn't give any bonus.
    Let's say the healer toss a Cure for 400 HP. He need two Cures to replenish the PLD's HP pool
    As for the WAR those two Cures won't heal 400 HP, but for 480. Indeed, it won't bring the WAR back to full Life but missing 40HP, but you can't put aside the WAR other means to Cure himself with Storm's Path, or even Inner Beast.
