Defiance still lacking in comparison to Shield Oath

[Lacavi]

I think you guys are completely missing the point of how Warrior is supposed to tank in this game. They are effective health tanks.

99% of bosses in this game use one large hitting move on a timer, even if it's random, and most of the time you'll be able to get five stacks up between them, you're mitigating their strongest move by 900-1700 damage with a proper Inner Beast. Usually that's anywhere from 25% (Hydra solo hit Tri) to 100% (Keep last boss breath).

Because of this mitigation I was able to solo tank Hydra eating every hit. I'm genuinely curious if a Paladin can manage that at the moment.
