Shadow Wall vs Vengeance!

[Faytte]

Shield oath is -30% damage, not 20%. Darkside can be kept up indefinitely, FoF cannot.

You continue to lose credibility.

If you looked at the math, you would understand FoF uptime isnt listed, its its effect over time, which frankly if you know how burst works is better for FoF (during its 30% window, key powers can be strung together in succession, and before it falls a new Goring Blade DoT can be put up to clipt he damage buff). The new paladin powers have extraordinary potency without a mana mechanic to gimmick off. Royal Authority does 13% more damage than Power Swing and considerably more than a non dark arted soul eater(which Drks fighting single bosses do not have 'infinite mana' like they do in dungeons with multiple strikes triggering blood price). Goring Blade is kept up at all times (similar to scourge, just hitting harder over its duration which, being shorter means the 220 base potency is being reapplied more frequently).

Shield oath is 20% damage reduction and damage dealt reduction. Grit and Shield Oath are identical.

Yeah, I just logged in to confirm. When I'm posting I'm usually at work, so I can't be logged into the game to check stats, so I use other websites. Apparently the one I was using was out of date.

Isn't Sentinel 40% damage reduction...?

Isn't Sentinel 40% damage reduction...?

Wow I guess it is. That's what I get for not paying attention to traits

That said, I'm glad with the direction of paladins, i think everyone is going to prefer them as an MT and are kind of a mandatory bring along at this point. Take least damage, can heal themselves or others in a pinch, bring the most utility. Dark might compete for farm tanking.

TBH sounds like you WANT PLD to be the only viable (or best) MT and for the others to not have a chance.
