WH v WE

[Nelly74]

Toughness regen is an abomination of ease, made for those who don’t have the guts to struggle for their victories. Such a shame that builds like this are even possible

[Wilfred14]

And regen is done mostly with endgame gear?

Since LV set now offers an absorb proc for WE/WH (FACEPALM, really, devs?!) you can actually do that almost from get go (assuming you actually can do LV - not that hard for a decent player with a few good friends.

Soon we will see builds with 3 shields - Sacrifices Rewarded, Enveloping Shadows and proc from LV set.

But truth to be told WHs can have it too.

There are lots of complaints about WB being op compared to WH but many WHs just ignore Exit Wound or do not play it right. And EW is a very powerful tool

People don't ignore exit wound, the WH tree rather forces us to put points into both left and right trees to get essential abilities and tactics and middle tree builds are less viable because you have to sacrifice something essential to pump it.
Middle tree has two things that are nice but not needed (heal debuff and exit wound), while between left and right you have essential abilities like your only gap closer, your magic immunity, knockdown, repel blasphemy and the crit damage tactic. So almost all viable builds take these, then you don't have points left over for middle tree.

So the reason everyone is either dragon gun or BAL is because you can get all of these with either build. But you can't with exit wound.
