Quote:Not really. 3 crushing blows in a row is a lot less of a problem than 6 in a row as far as spiking damage goes. It gives the healers time to top off the Warrior before he takes the next potential burst. 6 crushing blows in a row means the healers better be really on the ball or it's game over. :)Ahh. Yes, that's the cinch. In that case, they're about equal in terms of damage taken from crushing attacks (2 attacks blocked with a 5 sec cooldown versus 4 with a 10), but the warrior a.) won't take them all in a row, and b.) will take less damage due to Defensive stance.
Easy, it has a 5 second cooldown and a 6 second duration (with improved shield block).
You're right, the warrior's clearly superior.
