    I have some concerns about this; how hard are you going to have to hit the tanks for this to not be enormous overkill, due to this necessary higher damage in the event of a tank death healers will struggle more to keep the dps up and recover- an attack that would do 100 damage to a dps has gone from doing about 60 (after tank mastery and vengeance) to about 50, and finally if the incoming isn’t increased to take advantage of the mitigation and healing buffs then healers will become more vestigial. 1/0/3 runs of dungeons are already easy and more efficient than the recommended composition.

    I would have thought that reducing tank sustain, incoming damage and free healing should reduce the difference between the truly awful tanks/healers and necessity of having at least one semicompetent support role to carry the party?
    Probably not. I think this is perfectly in line with the direction they've been taking for the past half decade? They just make things easier and easier.
    Besides, isn't this exactly what Warrior mains wanted, though? I recall you being among them.
    You all were saying buff/rework the other tanks instead, don't nerf Warrior.
    You'll still be the best tank unless they nerf your damage.
    The healing passive on Rampart benefits Warrior disproportionately more than the other tanks, as it synergises much more with the rest of it's kit.
    And it received the highest potency worth of sustain on it's 40%.

    EW Warrior is just setting the new standard.
