Revert the change from the December patch that turned Heaven's Blade proc from a resist buff to a resist debuff.
Rationale: Heaven's blade is only marginally useful as a general resist debuff especially considering you have to hit and proc with it compared to Knight's aura "which just works" and the benefit is just a 60-70 points more debuff. Further, it no longer stacks with WoH as it did in live so it is of no use in particular to the SM (which was the only reason SMs ever used it on live anyway). Bringing back the resists/armor buff version of the skill allows the SM not only increase their own survivability but can act as a "poor man's knight" for groups that don't have one available.
Bonus points if you make it work like a stronger version of a Knight aura where it both steals and buffs, but that might be too greedy.

Re: [Swordmaster] Change Heaven's Blade back to resist/armor buff
Hey, the "new" version is at least usable in pve (to debuff resists for some BW in your party - assuming you don't have a knight to do it). Basically, its almost completely useless - unlike old resist/armor which was completely useless.
Personally, the moment they switched off debuff stack they could as well just delete it from the game.

Re: [Swordmaster] Change Heaven's Blade back to resist/armor buff
Yes. If it doesnt stack with WoH what is the point? At this point they should just give SM Absorb Phantom Blade instead. In fact it already reads that way when u mouse over the buff https://imgur.com/a/xYKfXWsAvernus wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 8:55 am Hey, the "new" version is at least usable in pve (to debuff resists for some BW in your party - assuming you don't have a knight to do it).

This new res debuff dont even stack with our own wrath of hoeth wich it did on live so its not useful here.
Re: [Swordmaster] Change Heaven's Blade back to resist/armor buff
It did stack for some time after ability patch, Then they changed that, but forgot to delete the skill. It's like with redirected force - it's still here even though there is no reason to have this skill in your toolkit.
