Tank homogenization

My only observation on this matter is that the defensive cooldowns are kind of redundant. I'd rather have less of those buttons but making them more available to compensate or with charges.

Not sure if Troll or not actually tanked anything remotely difficult.

Yeah, that is very clear. They clearly don't know that multiple defensive CDs do different things and are used in various situations.

He is kind of right about the core cooldowns.

• Rampart is a 20% mitigation with a 20s duration on a 90s cooldown.
• Vengeance, Sentinel, Shadow Wall and Nebula are 30% mitigations with 15s duartion on a 120s cooldown.
• Raw Intuition, Sheltron, HoS and TBN are all roughly 20% mitigation with a 6s or 7s duration usable roughly every 30s.

When you only need to use any 1 of them to survive a tankbuster the others are mostly redundant while they are off cooldown and their use order is more determined by tankbuster and tank swap timings.

TBN is pretty much the only short mitigation cooldown that isn't redundant with Rampart and the 30%er as it does not suffer from diminishing returns from stacking (and in fact gets increased returns with stacking). Nascent Flash is also such a good cooldown because it turns a redundant mitigation cooldown into a solid self-heal.

He mostly means the game has roughly 3 buttons that do nearly the same thing.
IMO they are a bit of a middleground. They arent quite distinct enough to really justify themselves, but they are also distinct enough that you CAN pick scenarios for one over another... but imo both scenarios feel like they just did the bare minimum, and left them pretty basic.
