    • Fell Cleave : The focus of the calculation is mitigation. If PLD is supposed to be the best at mitigation, WAR and DRK shouldn't be able to top it, never. Besides, if you take into account Fell Cleave, it means stance dancing. And stance Dancing is, again, more beneficial to WAR.

    As for physical vs magical, I wanted to take each tanks in the ideal situation, because any real number will just be below...and again, WAR will probably be the closest, since he'll only lose one CD (Which is still useful for the free stack) to magical foes, whereas PLD lose Bulwark, Sheltron and Rage Of Halone, and DRK loses Dark Dance and Reprisal. And for physical foes, only DRK loses something.

    It is.
    Because meta doesn't rely on average mitigation, but on spike damage...which is, again (I'm starting to see a pattern here) useful for WAR, since they have the shorter delay on their mitigation.
