Just thought I'd clear up some misconceptions that come up constantly in recent discussions.

First of all, the warrior self-healing abilities are all unaffected by Convalesence and the bonus healing from Wrath stacks. It seems only healing spells cast on you by others are affected by the +heal% mechanic.

Convalescence test, note that you get exactly 300% of the damage dealt by Inner Beast and exactly 25% of the damage dealt while Bloodbath is active despite having a bonus healing effect.

Secondly, Foresight is officially the worst defensive cooldown in the game. It gives approximately 5% mitigation. I've tested this twice, once at level 40ish with about 400 unbuffed defense and later at level 50 with about 700, which is more or less what you have in the endgame as each tier of armor only gives maybe two more defense per item.

Level 40ish Foresight test

Level 50 Foresight test


So can people please stop claiming that warrior defensive cooldowns are good and that Bloodbath and Storm's Path are great if you stack healing bonuses?
