I thought the idea was to reduce tankiness. however:
Ironblood: This set now grants a unique 30% damage reduction, rather than Major Protection.
How is this going to help with that? Especially given that:
Pirate Skeleton: [...] This set now applies Minor Defile to you, rather than Major Defile.
Those are not the only changes contradicting the state goal of reducing tankiness. For example:
Steadfast Hero: Increased the duration of Major Protection granted on proc to 10 seconds, up from 5. Reduced the cooldown to 12 seconds, down from 18.
That's 83% possible uptime on Major Protection. And some classes, like wardens, get it more or less passively without even having to make a conscious decision to proc it.
What's up with that?
Nevermind, I missed the changes to the Major-Minor (De)Buff system.
