Winters embrace/Shadow passives swap idea

this is a simple one but given the arguably biggest passive in the shadow line being its easy major resolve on top of its minor resolve and major evasion, it feels like its 5% max health per ability from the shadow skill line should instead be for the winters embrace and the winters embrace ability for more armor per winters embrace ability should be for shadow. hell winters embrace even has gripping shards, polar wind, and your damage shield which scales with max hp so it feels weird not having anything to help while meanwhile the shadow line has a bigger focus on boosting armor already and would be able to make the like 2k to 3k bonus resistances you can get based on having like 2 to 3 abilites on your frontbar would be more useful and provide a bigger benefit than it does for wardens with winters embrace.

hell warden already gives you minor toughness and is the only one that does that so it feels weird to that NB's shadow has the max hp passive and wardens winter embrace has the armor.

    i don't mind the idea personally.

    Wouldn't really be too thrilling for the people who run Dark Cloak and I am not so sure that Warden needs even higher HP scaling....

    its not necessarily that they NEED it as honestly i feel like things would be fine being adjusted so the abilies they have that scale with max hp could be toned down a little in recompense but its moreso that out of the 6 abilites that wardens winter embrace line has, 3 scale with max hp and the warden is the only class with minor toughness so its clear they are geared to max hp so it feels kinda awkward they ALSO get boosted resistances with tbf, the boosted resistances would pair better on a line that already stacks it a lot like how the NB's shadow line gives you minor resolve, major evasion, and if your in even just 5 pieces of heavy, pretty much permanent major resolve so it feels like its clear there as well that shadow is built to be more for resistances meaning its 5% max hp per ability feels awkward as well not only not building into its stengths but instead shoring up their weaknesses in a way that just feels weird when both the armor and max hp passives exist.

    beyond that, it also could easily be changed to make the dark cloak scale with resistances to encourage armor stacking for shadow tank NB's
