You want a heal that completely mitigates burst, makes people not want to attack you for 3 seconds, and heals off of conditions too, to have no casting time?
Again, it’d be better if Warrior wasn’t as easy as Guardian. And the complaint back then is because “Healing Signet” is un-interruptable.
Don’t fix what isn’t broken. In-fact, you want it to be more faster casting? Get good with DPS Warrior and use Frenzy. Problem solved.

Yes. It should have no cast time, because it is an awful heal as is. I’m surprised you weren’t aware of this, since it’s all you run after all.
Don’t fix what isn’t broken. In-fact, you want it to be more faster casting? Get good with DPS Warrior and use Frenzy. Problem solved.
So then why was hundred blades’ and whirlwind’s damage lowered and why was signet of rage nerfed from 30 > 25s might + fury? Neither of them were broken. :P
Yes I agree. Instant cast and 30s cooldown would make this healing skill more viable. I would play with this healing skill from time to time if this was the case.
Honestly 1/4 s Cast time is pretty dang un-interruptable. yep you can use weapons at the same time but you want to complain check out Litany of Wrath on Guard forums. It has a 3/4s Cast time. I wouldnt complain with what you got
i would take Litany of Wrath any day instead if i could, at least i would be after my enemy hitting his face not standing like an idiot begging to get hit or canceling my cast skills for it or casting it under stability so its 3s duration doesn’t get interrupted.
Ohhh, no no no no. If you want this thing instant cast, it’s not going to jump the queue ahead of litany of wrath. I swear, if they made defiant stance instant cast and left litany of wrath as is… well, I’d probably jab a fork in my eye.
So my advice is to advocate for litany of wrath to be instant cast, and if that works out then work on advocating defiant stance to be instant cast.
Of course the one issue with having defiant stance instant cast is that you could use it while CC’d, unless they specifically set it so that you couldn’t. Litany of wrath doesn’t really have that issue since you need to be hitting stuff to benefit from the heal, which won’t happen if you’re CC’d.
The whole idea is that you’re supposed to “trick” your enemy into bursting you so that you can actually get value for such a long CD heal. If you have to activate it, that means that if your enemy is any good they’ll just stow their weapon and kite you around for a few seconds. If you can pop it mid burst, you at least have a chance to trick them into giving you value. A enemy will probably also realize you don’t have Heal Sig and just space their damage out so that you never have a good time to use it.
Even as the skill is now I wouldn’t take it in WvW.
@BlackTruth.6813: You have yet to convince me (and apparently several others) that the heal is in any way viable for TPvP. You always link the same couple of videos in which it’s always Rampage that acts as your sustain, and that your heal only tricks players who forgot how it works. If you’re not getting over a 10k heal out of Defiant Stance, then it somehow manages to be worse than Healing Surge.
Against any team with TS, all it takes is one callout of “IGNORE THE WARRIOR” when you try to heal and you’re as good as dead.

I do on enjoy using it, it is a great utility spell for warriors but it is kinda slacky when it comes to healing compared to other healing spells. The only time it worked out in pve was against golem mark II and i walked into the electric areas to heal and it worked well. In pvp and wvw tho…. U need to be tricky with it to get it work. The other ones are better imo..
Yeah, more or less. Exact same amount of healing, only it’s instant cast. Not to mention it has some added utility in the form of, the Rev gets to have a second heal skill, in case the situation doesn’t arise where it’d have much of an affect. So, it gets to be completely superior to Defiant Stance, and has a backup, in case it’s in a spot where it wouldn’t work.
Yes, the backup comes solely from class mechanics, and I don’t really object to it. But the fact of the matter is, Defiant Stance and Infuse Light are both gimmicky heals. Either they’re wonderful, or they’re absolute garbage. So, quite frankly, the class that is risking its life on this gimmicky heal with no backup should by no means have the straight up inferior version.
YES!!!!!!!!! Why the hell is it not instant cast? not that i like the skill anyway, but seriously. even from a thematically stand point. why would it take 1 second to change a stance. I’m a martial artist and if i took 1 second to step into horse stance my sifu would kill me.
