Opinion Question: Would Second Wind on Prot be OP?

Second Wind on Prot is something I’d love to see, but I don’t main a warrior, and the nuance of why Arms has it but not Prot isn’t clear to me.

If tanks could talent Second Wind, would it make them OP?

unless you’re talking about an old version of second wind, i couldn’t even imagine why it would be considered OP.

Second wind requires you to not have taken damge in the last 6(?) seconds or something like that

I think it’s currently “hasn’t done damage in 6 seconds.”

I mean I guess then my follow-up question is why doesn’t have this option.

mmmm its this https://www.wowhead.com/spell=29838/second-wind

when you haven’t taken damage in the last 5 seconds you recover 6% of your hp every 1 second. very counter productive for active tanks. something about blizz not wanting warriors to have a reliable self heal during active combat outside of victory rush / impending

Right, but this would give the Warrior an advantage of between fights, passive healing. Something unique to Warrior, and wouldn’t really create a huge problem for the combat portion of the game.

I don’t know, I just really love SW as an ability. It’s my “I’m Wolverine” RP talent and I love it.

It wouldn’t be OP for prot; if anything, it would actually be really bad in most content. I would guess that it’s not an option because Blizzard usually tries to avoid obviously dead talents like this.

Must be good to be a paladin :wink:

Do you even tank, dude.

Just sit down and eat.

I want something that helps me stay alive in fights, not flavor junk cluttering up my talent tree.

No. Because tanks don’t have Second Wind.

No, because it would be a dead talent in the prot tree.

That’s probably because it would be useless

Well I don’t know that I’d take awareness pointers from someone who repeated something for a 4th time, but hey, maybe that’s just me.

In order to repeat something for a fourth time. In order to do that I would have to have said it for a first, second and third time. three other people did that for me

Now to have four people answer the same thing, while still responding on the other hand…

Oh man, I’ve never looked at it that way before. You’re right, and more importantly I’m wrong. You’re very smart.

For what it’s worth, spammable Ignore Pain plus Indomitable is much better than Second Wind would be on Prot, and flavor-wise it still feels reasonably Wolverine-ish.

Yeah, I take what I can get. There seems to be no tanks right now so I need to get back in there.

I don’t think adding a heal is the answer to the prot warrior problem. What I would like to see is them take Ignore Pain and look at the average amount of damage that is avoided over fights then just make that amount a baseline stagger-like ability This would free up rage and smooth out damage intake and leave them with one AM ability like all the other classes.
