i noticed it as well. But i'm more wondering if our block rate got gimped as well. Because assuming it's the same (no testing done), as we continue to level up our shields we'll get near 100% block rate w/o bulwark and even if it's 20% migration that's still a lot of physical damage shaved off. Paired with our new healing ability and damage reduction ability, I can see using sword oath being more common, This is assuming of course our block rate has not been nerfed as well, I don't know because I've done no testing.
