    IIRC this also affects Warriors in Defiance. IMO it's pretty confusing that it works this way, since it's not particularly clear that some spells are more affected than others (and also makes Defiance weaker than Shield Oath).

    Yes, this is something important for healers to keep in mind when healing a WAR since they have an increased HP pool versus passive mitigation that PLD and DRK have in their tank stances. This means the diverse oGCD toolkit that SCH and WHM have at their arsenal actually loses some effectiveness. I'm hoping S-E does make a change to Defiance so it's affected by both spells and abilities though I'm not sure if S-E feels WARs overall self healing and on demand mitigation via Inner Beast would offset that detriment.
