Removed warrior mitigation ?

I noticed the last update with the removed 5% innate warrior mitigation. I actually had no idea of the mechanic in place but just assumed that a warrior would mitigate better than other tank classes that also get spells etc.

Is the removed bonus to get back to a known model on Al'kabor? What is the reasoning behind this?

Trying to learn my class and find maybe a little carrot dangling in front of me for the benefit of warrior class

 

Apparently its something that was added for warriors later. Warriors do mitigate better than other tanks as you get higher in levels though higher skill caps on things like dodge, parry, and ripost and possibly defence compared to other tanks. Disciplines are what really seperates warriors from knights.

 

Warrior mitigation boost was after pop, was what I was told by Torven last night. So it was removed. The only thing warriors dont have on knights is instant aggro. So warriors will always be better tanks.

Do warriors still take DI19's max instead of DI20's or was that the 5% mitigation you guys used to imitate that?

 

That whole "only DI19" bit is totally misleading and is NOT what actually happens. It's a very incorrect over simplification. And yes, the 5% boost is where that comes in.

EDIT: Warriors modify the actual DI, not the 1-20. There will still be 20 distinct values. The "max DI19" confuses that and implies they will only have 19 distinct values.

 

I must admit, nerfs are the funnest part of the job.

 

Warriors have plenty on instant agro options but it takes more work.
