Why does the paladin defensive skills have such a high cooldown?

[RubenSnizzle]

Had all 3 tank to 60 prior to SB, decided to level up WAR first to 70 and now im doing PLD and im kind of baffled, most of their job defensive skills have an extra minute or higher timer on them.

Vengeance -> 120sec 30% dmg reduction
Sentinel -> 180sec 40% dmg reduction


Raw Intuition -> 90sec Parry all attack from the front (for better effect you need awareness)
Bulwark -> 180sec Increase block rate by 60%

As im leveling PLD in dungeons, im like...why the hell does it take so long for my damn skills to come back compared to war? So i decided to check the main ones that i pointed above and it felt 'weird' ? I dunno how to say it...on one note, Vengeance and sentinel both do the same thing, but sentinel has an extra minute.


Raw intuition is better than bulwark in every form and does a better job since you just need to combo it with awareness and bye bye worries and has half the cooldown. Now for bulwark, it only increases block rate by 60%, you could add in anticipation but that only applies to parry. I know that paladin can block magic with SB update, but that doesn't change my view.

Whats up with that :l? Doesn't that mean that warrior has better mitigation in the long run?
