Anyone know if blocking mitigation has been increased from 20%?

Seems like PLD players aren’t nearly as vocal as the other tank classes. We have glaring issues aswell such as the block being capped at 20%. But then you have people stating that PLD needs to get nerfed or that they have the best mitigation because they see a shield. Get educated, PLD has the worst personal mitigation and this block nerf basically confirmed it.

PLD having the weakest personal cd kit is very likely working as intended, they basicly trade their fluff cd ( ToB, DM, Camo) for an additional raid utility cd. They aren't even really behind, Camo is relaitsly only 10% fpr TB , DM doens't even work on anything not magic. Only ToB could be considered to be a bit stronger as the other fluff cds, but having the best personal cd kit is the advantage that a warrior brings over the other tanks.

Block being capped at 20% brings it in line with the other short cds and if block hadn't scaled before, peoble wouldn't bat an eye at it capping at 20%, because at 20% it's in line with the other short mitigation cds. Can't really have the cd kit of one class get stronger over teh course of an expansion while the others don't.

Let me guess Divine Veil is working as intended too? so is cover? oh and Passage of Arms as well then. Oh maybe clemency as well. What do they all have in common? PLD loses in every scenario. You either get no shield, Lose gauge for some niche trash ability, lose GCD and Lose some more GCD, something no other tank has to deal with. Spare me the working as intended Bullshit, Sheltron is only stronger than HoS but thats not saying much since HoS will most likely get buffed anyways or can be paired with an additional mitigation such as camo which PLD doesn't get anyways. Getting crit during a sheltron, wondering whether your sheltron was even worth the gauge because you could have passively blocked it anyways. But its okay PLD has passive blocking so they must be OP as fck and need to be nerfed to oblivion. Only tank class with absolutely 0 self healing via Weapon skills or ability. If i want to heal I need to throw my damage in the toilet. A warrior can RI/Nascent for Fluff and get parries on boss autos, sheltron does nothing to crit autos which could make the entire duration feel lack luster or useless. The only thing a PLD has that is actually powerful is intervention at the cost of defensive CD but only really powerful during shared busters which most of the time get cheesed by invulns anyways.

If block must remain at 20% then something of value must be gained. As it stands Sheltron isn't strong enough to justify denying PLD an extra CD for mitigation.
