Does Holy shield still increases your whole armor rating now as in the beta? Instead of just the shield as it used to in the past.
If the first, then a defender paladin will clearly out defence a barbie with maxed shout and ironskin, because of the synergy from defiance to holy shield.
But can you survive as a defender char with extreme defense? Or is it a hopeless venture?
Im not counting in the barb's concentrate, as the defense value from it isnt permanent enough to rely on consistently, like what you can attain with holy shield and defiance.
And what complements a defender well? What other skills would you use?
