Thread: 4.0 tank buff ability changes, please don't do this

Shifting Provoke and Convalescence to the role skill list opens up 1 trait and 2 more ability slots for Paladin.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Current encounters have several tank busters with timing that requires you to use two cooldowns to mitigate given the spacing between them, 3 in some circumstances, which is where your BIG cooldown comes in. So merging it into a baked in additional cooldown rather than a cross class is perfectly fine.

You guy understand that foresight works completely different than rampart/shadowskin and is practically useless?
It reduces about 7% physical damage only....
Just sayin...

A DRK has the same amount of defenserating like a WAR, so foresight is not better or worse for DRK as for WAR. It just increases your defenserating by 20%...

It's only """good""" because DRK have not much physical-dmg reduce tools. But that doesn't really make foresight less crappy per se.
