Critical Bulwark is now Robust Bulwark - Feedback

<p><p>"Warrior - Critical Bulwark is now Robust Bulwark.  It grants increased max health instead of critical mitigation."And the Test Update Notes on 2/6/12</p><p> "WarriorRobust Bulwark is now 5% max health at rank 10."</p></p><p>Is there a reason this is so poor, assuming ~60k HP it's a ~3k increase to health 50% of the time. Across 6 players thats 18k HP 50% of the time.</p><p><p>The top level HP ability gives us 5% PERMENANT HP and while this effects the group it's still very weak.</p><p>A lot of the other Warrior choices are already very poor, all this will do is make most of us move points to CB/Potency/Reuse because only 2 choices offer us much of an improvement at all. For the amount of AA required to get these AA's the majority should be a better choice than 10% Crit bonus/Potency.I'd like to see something offensive with the HP buff, maybe one of 0.5% Flurry/Potency/Crit bonus etc per point as well.</p><p>Current Warrior AA abiltiies in the line - </p><p>1. Accuracy increase to temp buff, final rank is 30 secs of CC immunity every 3 mins.2. Additional hate to a "Rescue" style ability that is resisted 90% of the time.3. 0.5% HP to a temp buff, 5% total.4. 10% Damage reduction about 50% of the time.</p></p>

<p>The change to the warden critical debilitation was the same.. 5% max hp bonus. I would suggest that something the reduces incoming damge, rather then simply more hitpoints, would be a better 'exchange' for those classes losing crit mit AA.Currently critical mitigation helps eveybody equally. A small percentage hitpoint increase gives those that need the most help the least help.</p><p>Damage reduction or mitigation would be a more equitable and useful exchange for the lost crit mit buff.</p>

<p>People even took critical bulwark?</p><p>None of the builds I researched even had it. None of my guilds' tanks use it. My tank doesn't use it....</p>

<p>Its useful in pvp for temp pvp crit mit but otherwise I prefer damage reduction and Enhanced insight which are useful in both pvp/e enviornments.</p>

Even though I'm not a fan of the idea of PvP critical mitigation... mostly because I'm in the crew that felt resilience ruined PvP in World of Warcraft(Exact same idea, damage reduction stat.. reduced damage done by crits at first i think then reduced damage done overall or some junk) I could see it.</p><p>In PvE, a temp crit mit buff is useless when you're over the crit mit level for the zone.</p>

<p>It's used while progressing by some, but yes, when the groups over cap it's not any use at all.</p><p>It would be good though if this was changed to something we'd want to spend points in, at the very least something thats more use than 8% CB/Pot.</p><p>Some classes have some very nice AA at this level i the tree and go 10/10/8 here, if it's changed to HP, no one will touch it.</p>

<p>I actually did take this AA before I redid everything.</p><p>The extra Crit Mit helped my group of non-raided guildies.</p><p>Not sure if the 30sec of health will do much now.</p>
