Didn't you hear? Guard is being removed from the game, Warrior priests are being given Sever Nerve as a zero-cooldown core ability, and WH/WEs can now attack without losing stealth.

Absolutely.

Any class can keep distance to a degree from the enemy, but not everyone has tools to deal with being snared and rooted constantly, or means to actually get distance once the gap has been closed.

Dont want to sound like an ass-hat but, what is your point?

Not having tools to deal with snares and roots is irrelevant if you're never snared or rooted. A Slayer has mobility because he can ignore it and has a speed boost, while conversely a Warrior priest has very little mobility because they are forced to contend with most snares and roots.

Salvation Warrior priests 'kiting' warbands is not that hard, considering they can stay a good 60-100 feet away from the front line and away from the cluster of snares and roots, and therefor never have their lack of mobility actually factored in.

Conversely, the lack of snares and roots of their own impact their kiting abilities as well. But, again, are made moot because it doesn't matter that you can't send the enemy away once they reach you if they never reach you.

The first one will be that guard dmg is undefendable when the tank is cc'ed. (refered to as a fix)
The second probably will reduce the defense capabilities towards guard defence checks. (considering offensive attributes of attackers)
More to come I guess.
Get your rdps rdy guys.

Ups I spilled the salt.

1) This is not the thread for this.

2) By all means, go to the appropriate thread and put up an argument as to why a tank should have exclusive immunity to being disabled, outside of being punted off-map.

This is not the thread for it, but still Guard is related to everything. Anyway, my bad for asking about it.

Didnt intend to bring it here, was asked though.

Wingz, how do you feel about reducing the range of DoK/WP healing to 65 ft.?

I am definitely not Wingz.

This is my answer though:
