[Suggestion] Rework sword and shield skills
For battle posture, the 3rd skill. Instead of a 30s buff that reflects 1 projectile, make it a 10s buff which reflects whatever damage that has been mitigated.
Eg normally a base block mitigates 50% damage. A boss heavy attacks you that deals 20k damage normally. If blocked you receive 10k damage and reflect back the other 10k.
Morphs could be to increase buff duration to 20s and increase base mitigation by slotting the skill to 12% or to increase damage caused by reflect by 50%, so it deals 15k damage instead.
This would at least help tank builds a chance to deal damage and a more roleplay option of soloing vma with a tank. If it sounds too op then maybe give it a minor defile debuff. Yes it will break PvP but I don't care about PvP.. =/
And the shield bash passive could be reworked to increase reflect damage by 20-30% when battle posture is active..

Its really not, its a really nice ability that in lots of fights can keep you alive quite nicely. Try tanking vMoL without it.0 -

This^.
Also, "reflects whatever damage that has been mitigated"... seriously? PvE wise, tanks aren't really meant to do comparable dps to DDs. PvP, permablock tanks will be that much more difficult to kill while you're basically dealing dmg to yourself.0
