Lustrate

well, the fact that it doesn't benefit of defiance is bad - it indirectly nerfs warriortanks i lil bit. there cases you have to counter a healreducing debuff are way less than having a warriortank + scholar heal.

However, it's not as if Lustrate is our only option for WAR healing or even one of the primary options.

I've always considered Lustrate either a panic button or an "I or someone else screwed up, and I need to get caught up on healing NOW" button. It doesn't really affect the way I heal normally.

Agreed, I was already tight about Lustrate "panic" use before the change mainly for the sake of managing Aetherflow. Use a stack (or two if it's that urgent to meet an HP-required mechanic NOW), get out of stance if-needed, Physick remaining HP. Only use to buy enough time to keep em alive instead of blowing stacks when they obviously don't need to handle another draining mechanic anytime soon, when all you want is their life bar to look pretty at the moment.

I also never thought twice on using it on DPS if they were the only ones to mess up a mechanic. If it keeps them alive, it's worth it because DPS checks can be strict. The only part that would change is stance dancing, even then that wasn't common because of my strict use.

While I understand where you're coming from, the Defiance issue is something S-E should address before Savage Alex is released as it may make WARs undesirable in progression raiding where clutch heals could make or break the attempt in progression and learning.

Though on the opposite side of the coin, at least this is kinda offsetted by the fact you can get guaranteed heal Crits from flank / rear while Raw Intuition is up >>;

This is a bug. Like, a huge bug. There is no way in the seven hells that Raw Intuition is working as intended, at the moment - it is so OP that it's not even funny. Do not rely on it.
