Paladin too overpowered, nerf their damage output!

[Fernosaur]

WAR does not have a single unique CD that does not involve either taking damage or dishing out damage excluding two (something the other tanks share). They are on a low CD because everything about WAR is based on taking damage and dishing it out unlike PLD and DRK which have skills that give them sustain or reduction without damage being a factor. The 100% parry is really good...but it also requires you to be taking damage to even work.

I hope this doesn't come off as mean, but I have no idea what you mean by this entire paragraph, sorry. At least in the context of my post?

I'm talking strictly about defensive CDs, ie. Rampart, Vengance, Sentinel, etc. WAR has 5 defensive CDs on extremely short recasts. Only four if the fight is exclusively magical due to Raw Intuition only working on physical damage. If anything, PLD and DRK also have skills which absolutely require them to be getting hit (Shield Swipe and Blood Price, not to mention Shield Oath building oath through blocks). I don't know what's the point you're trying to make here, whether or not you're taking damage doesn't change the fact that WAR's CD suite has a much higher uptime than the other two tanks due to the short recasts and abundance in number.

[B][I][U][COLOR="darkred"] It also has by far, the worst tank stance in the entire game, one that is not affected by effects from abilities (like SCH's fairy healing doesn't give the 20% extra healing the tooltip says it does). The only time it ever gives an equivalent amount of damage reduction is when WAR is at full health with defiance on, at any other point it's worse then PLD/DRK's stance. For instance lets assume all three tanks have 20k health. if an attack that does exactly 20k hits DRK/PLD with their stance on, they will survive it. If it hits WAR with their tank stance on they will die.

The short CD's are to make up for how WAR plays different from other tanks. It also has very little self sustain now that BB is gone, and IB and Path are nerfed in the amount they heal.

Embrace from SCH's fairy does get buffed by Defiance because Embrace is a spell, as is Whispering Dawn. It doesn't affect Tetra, Lustrate, Essential, etc, no, but quite honestly whether a tank stance is great or not isn't even THAT important for balance because you'll avoid tank stance anyways if you're optimizing. And when it comes to mitigation out of tank stance, Warrior is way superior to both of the other tanks. DRK has a great tool for tank busters in TBN, but is awfully lacking for stray damage. PLD is so-so when it comes to stray damage tools due to the very lenthy CD on Sentinel and Hallowed Ground.

I agree with Lyth on most things they said: if they keep buffing WAR we're gonna find ourselves in a situation very similar to HW.
