IS WAR as hard as it seems?

Unless they changed something, thrill isn't affected by convalescence.

I think he meant that its a good synergy because you self heal with thrill and convalescence makes it easier for healer top off your extra hp. At least thats why i pop thrill an convalescence.

Convalescence + Thrill is basically 20 second Defiance (or super Defiance if used while on Defiance). They also share the same the same re-cast timer. You don't boost Thrill's healing power with Conva but you improve the buff considerably by using them together. There are plenty of skills on the WAR roster that work much better when combined with another cooldown, for instance Bloodbath/Berserk and Raw Intuition/Awareness. That is what I meant that a WARs versatility isn't as obvious from the get-go since other classes like PLD and DRK pretty much just pop a cooldown when needed and they're good to go, rarely having stuff that directly synergies with something else.

There are occasions where you need to use them separately, thordan comes to mind, but in general they do synergize well. And yea, you dont really see those types of synergy with the other tanks toolkit.

Yeah that's fair, I thought you were implying the self heal was increased by convalescence.
