A Tank Balance Megathread

[Syzygian]

You left out the fact that Defiance is only a 20% boost to healing (compared to effectively 25% on Shield Oath/Grit), and that it doesn't affect healing abilities like Tetragrammaton, Lustrate or Essential Dignity at all. That's a pretty noticeable disadvantage.

Thanks, and fixed. But I don't think Grit and ShO actually provide more effective healing. Math pls?
Putting it in the tank stance section, as far as I am aware, this disadvantage doesn't stop it from being essentially the same mathematical eHP boost as from Grit/ShO, does it?

IIRC:

PLD/DRK 16K HP. Adlo on ShO PLD/Grit DRK for 3K. 3K shield. Boss hits for 10K mitigated to 8K through ShO/Grit, DRK/PLD takes 5K damage, 11K HP left.
WAR 16K HP, 20K in Def. Adlo on Def WAR for 3K. 3.6K shield. Boss hits for 10K. WAR takes 6.4K. 13.6K left, roughly 11K x 1.2-1.25.
