Epic Shield Skill

[Huggles]

Most people no longer bother using shields because miti crusher gives you more DPS and is actually useful against DoTs.

Suggestion:

Epic Protection Skill- Ironclad
This skill grants up to a 100% chance to give you 2% mitigation for 7 seconds after blocking. This stacks up to 5 times. (This allows up to 10% mitigation if you continuously block and renew the duration).

A buff for traditional, shield-wielding tanks? This will find the support of...almost no one. Except me. I support. Daeronryuujin supports.

Having said that, still a great patch in general imo, and I'd say give it a bit and ask for feedback on the 3 minutes thing after a couple weeks. Who knows how it will work out.

DPS is the name of this game and they'll always have the upper hand. At least something is being done to attempt to do a little balancing so I'm happy in that regard.

Called it for years, no one seemed to believe the "super op" shield-wielding tank build would ever die out, but it's a damned rare specimen now. I have just as many posts fighting nerfs to healers and "doomsaying" about their eventual demise.
