Holy Shield now increases block chance by 5% while active, instead of increasing the amount of damage blocked by 10%.
why, just why. now we are being punished for stacking mastery?
is there any reason to use a paladin tank over a prot warrior (shield block/critical block), blood dk, or a druid with this change? sure, we have a raid wall: on a 3 min cd and its range has been reduced. without going into the math and how diminishing returns on dodge/parry influences this, prot paladins will be taking roughly 8-12% more damage due to the lessened value per point of mastery.
is this honestly fair? the devs cant really think this is balanced. say i'm qq'ing all you want, but it's the truth. we will be taking more damage than warriors and other tanks with this change.
