Now I realize doing anything to possibly buff warriors is against SOP. Is there however a chance we could stop being the only tank to sacrifice threat/damage for mitigation?
I refer of course to Defensive Stance.
When we were the primarily accepted tank, sacrificing 10% damage for 10% mitigation was fine, however at this point no other tank suffers such a loss.
This is on top of the fact that once defense becomes an option we would still need to stack it to avoid crits, which would further reduce our threat.
My plea is simple, please find a way to remove the negative damage modifier. Be it by QoL book, new rune or whatever.
Also while at it please scale Thunder Clap with something. The rune is nice, but it has been easily outperformed by incidental aoe such that it becomes a rather large annoyance.
Personally I would love to see a new warrior rune that increases our str/ap/dmg in some relation to our armor total. I love prot, but the tree is a bit lacking in many forms of scaling (nothing increases block value, which makes us the only shield tank w/o it).
I love all tanks, and making new ones is great. Please don’t forget the old ones while you are it though.
