Guild Wars 2

This new healing skill is totally pointless.
cons:
1- if you got attacked by 3-5 enemies, you will heal for full hp.

pros:
1- duration 3 sec only, not enough for Vs 1 player and it will just prolong your life against groups.
2- cool down 35, way to long for a skill that has a really hard to achieve condition(you must receive a lot of damage which may result in killing you after the skill ends since warriors lacks mobility)

Changes i suggest:
1- make the heal= 2Xdamage taken

OR

2- cool down now is 25 sec.

What new heal. I don’t know what you are talking about. I thought only 6 of the 7 classes got a new useful heal and warrior wasn’t one of them.

Cons are bad things, pros are good things

Only works against condition overload. Every player just stop hit when notice.

Defiant Stance is borderline OP in large scale fights of WvW. It’s is a high risk high reward but once you know how and when to use it it becomes really powerful. Outside of GvG or ZvZ it is pretty much less than useless.

This person is correct. Defiant Stance may not be useful for PvE or tPvP, but for large scale WvW it’s insane. I feel like it was designed with WvW in mind anyways, and I don’t think it needs changing just because it isn’t viable in PvE or PvP. It isn’t like Warrior doesn’t already have good healing options.

Just think of the QQ we would get if we had another viable stance to use in PvP or small scale WvW. It is fine as is.

Its pretty cool but not as a healing skill. If it was a trait that could activate under certain conditions like embrace the pain than it could be useful.

Defiant Stance stops OHKO attacks.

It’s a really good skill in PvE. High damage attacks, predictable mobs.

The skill is really viable in dungeons, it gives you a 3sec immunity against dmg and you get healed if hit. Some bossfights need you to mitigate alot of burst-dmg, so Defiant Stance+Shield Stance+Endure Paint+Whirlwind Attack and a few dodges and you are immortal :p heck if you are low on HP during some fight, just use the skill and jump into an aoe and you get full health

The CD could be lowered to 30sec tho :p

so does it heal you for the same amount they hit you for?

No, its a set amount, but it heals per tick of condition on you, and if you eat a 100b or pistol whip its decent. Mostly for front lining/commanding, it really, REALLY sucks for roaming

It’s not a set amount, initial heal is a set amount. If it was a set amount there is no way you could tank 40 stacks of Corruption from Cultist Hammer or even a shot from a Deadeye.

Think of it this way: Endure Pain multiplies direct damage by 0, Defiant Stance multiplies all damage (except Agony) by -1.
