Re: Overarching balance changes
No. Armor gets better in practice the higher armor class you have. The only way to get full vallue of stacking armor is actually on a tank. You have to take weaponskill into concideration. And when you do you see that it ballance out.

Re: Overarching balance changes
How did "guard" apper in vote? - threse is players that didnt like how it works? too powerful or weak?
(someone said to halve reductions for 2h tanks to 50% of original guard - so only SnB tanks would be normal "Guards")
For me its not so bad idea - sick of DPS tanks defenders in each Vid.

The only tank which is better played 2 hand than snb is the sm, so I have no idea why you think 2 hand tanks are dominant.

Re: Overarching balance changes
Tanks stack armor. It was kinda pointless to do it in t3 due to gear gap. But right now its very profiteble. And reasons healers do it its coz its the moast damage reducing stat in the game.

IB can definitely run with balanced 2h build and get to high parry rate to avoid guard dmg. though no idea how its for 40/40. I think you can get most of this build when u get to 40/60
