The Prot Pal buffs feel really good. Kudos Blizz.
It feels like they actually had a good grasp on where we were struggling. I only pug, I’ve got 1 key left for resil 18 and I was sweating through every key before Tuesday.
Ardent feels like a meaningful button now. Before I felt like i could only trust it if my guardian cheat wasn’t on cooldown. The extended duration is also huge since some tank busters have a bleed/dot effect.
Blessing of dusk feels like it gives me some ability to save cd’s and rely a bit on armaments/WOG towards the end of pulls now. Before it felt like i had to kite, blow another cd, or die.
Sentinel is a no brainer. On lust pulls i can basically survive with just that now and it leaves me with a lot of options for the next pull rather than feeling cd starved and scared for my life. The duration also lets you double dip for frequent busters like 3rd boss Skyreach.
Overall it feels like i can use my utility a lot better now - LOH can go to a teammate, i can sac on cd much more comfortable. Toss the extra wog to a dps. Feels much more like how i want to play the tank.
Our dps is still bullocks compared to the meta tanks so i’ll hold out hope that they just combine crit wings and sentinel one day.
