"Through Power: Endure Pain increases your movement speed by 50% and grants immunity to movement-impairing effects while active."

Yes, because Jugg/Gaurdians needed more movement in Huttball

Guardians get 3% damage reduction buff to themselves, not debuff to targets. Same as Guardian Slash does now.

Delete dps trees, seriously, the vigilance is just a bad hybrid of watchman/combat sentinel tree so let it go, but we're already on the way. Enough complain, thanks for the awesome changes, will do my best with it while others able tanks classes rocks more than ever.

Ridiculous...
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

These changes will be fine, they look fun and our AOE will be insane. Watch, when they stream it, Vigilant Thrust will hit like a truck, after all it has to hit harder than sweep by a fair amount, and if it has a low CD, all the better. Stop worrying and being whiny.

Great! Really!

As far as I can see, all great changes affects Jugg/Guardian DPS. What Tanks will get? We lost our armor debuff, soresu was totally nerfed...
Retaliation on GCD... 3% dmg reduction while other tank classes get 5%, ageis assault with weak benefits while Vengeance gets aoe bleed effect?! Tragedy! Someone forgot that Iconic Jugg is tank not dps...
They made Juggs kings of DPS. Now, all and sundry will treat Juggs as DPS. Guardian Tank? In 3.0? Who heard about that!? -____-

jug changes looks good, my only big concern is the removal of retaliate off the GCD that sees like a asinine idea to me, but i would love to hear why..idk maybe they buff the damage or something? anyway looking forward to seeing how this play out on today's stream...still not liking the gcd on retaliate tho

Can anyone explain to me how, exactly, Soresu Form was nerfed, besides dealing less damage?

Lt-Snake, jugg changes looks great not good, but for DPS.

Khantalas, Besides?! It is huge loss! you are dealing less dmg = less threat x2 and you gain accuracy which you did not needed before for PVE 'couse Taunts couldn't miss. We have also lost armor reduction effect?

I think they said they WERE increasing the damage.

I like this change. I keep Retaliate on CD, but I often feel like I run out of buttons to push as my jugg in tank spec other than Assault. This will smoothe out my ranking rotation a bit, I think.

If a tank had 0% accuracy before, he will enjoy an 11% increase in damage thanks to the accuracy buff. That compensates for the damage nerf itself nicely.

Right now it sounds like crap for (Vigilance) PvE :
- Riposte = buffed but still useless
- Utilites leaked so far are only for PvP and/or Tanks
