Warrior Tanking

Just to make it clear: I do not regret 2.0 warrior at all. I like the job how it is now.
I'm just trying to explain how 2.0 was reactive and how 2.1 is proactive.

Honestly, what I think some people would have wanted is mostly what we got, but left IB alone and made Foresight give the DMG reduction that current IB has.

That would just be turning Foresight into a Rampart clone. It would also be powering up PLD just as much as WAR since Foresight is a CC.

I'm just trying to explain how 2.0 was reactive and how 2.1 is proactive.

As was stated before, there was only a single reactive aspect to WAR in 2.0: Inner Beast. Even then, it was somewhat proactive because you still had to generate the Wrath stacks before you were able to make the response. Everything else that WAR did was proactive. People got *way* too hung up on Inner Beast in 2.0 and, because of it, basically thought that WAR was *all* about self healing when it actually amounted . The self healing was just the mechanic accessed by the defining feature of the WAR: Wrath. The defining feature of WAR is *still* Wrath and, in fact, because of the 2.1 changes, you are actually encouraged to use it *more*.
