Hate generation is one thing and it's important, I agree on that, but this whole thing wouldn't be much of a problem, if we actually "block" shit, which is the ONLY thing that makes us unique compared to WAR(not counting MP heal crap)

All SE really needs to do is alter formulas of the game, most of all the "enemy lvl compared to your lvl" formulas, which pretty much make defense and block a useless thing. We don't block, unless with Boon, we might as well tank w/o a shield...

Second to that we got WAY less HP then WAR, which is just not justified, since we were supposed to "mitigate" dmg in return for lower HP...well I don't see anything of that due to the stupid formulas in place for fighting high lvl mobs. I basically get the same dmg as WAR, as I get on PLD when fighting high lvl mobs...stupid, just stupid.

PLD is the inferior WAR right now...

Give us regular blocks back, Enmity on Phalanx and problem solved.
