2 AP and a sheield equipped, and using the ability more or less on cooldown.
wont fit in most of my builds, but sure.
Edit because I keep getting likes: there is one in T1 of Kensai that does not require a shield, I just missed it the first few times I read the effects

Honestly totally fine with the change to death ward, it's a bit silly just entirely negating a damage type like that massively reducing the value of neg absorb while also necessitating enemies strip death ward if they're to be a threat with negative energy.
The fact that negative casters now can deal with enemy cleric types that apply death ward to themselves and allies is a huge upside.

Nope, no shield required if you get it from kensei. Just 50 free PRR/MRR. If you compare it to any other source of PRR/MRR this makes no sense at all.
Defensive stance is 3 levels and 6 APs for only half the benefit, and it makes you grab more aggro and excludes rage.

By flagged with the shield trait, do you mean that this would now be exclusive with fire shield? Because that is a horrible change if so.

It's nice that it excludes it from Dragonlords, because what DL is going to be using a shield unless it's a tank.

Hoping it just means that it stacks with items

I agree with Ying on the sustained shot for mechanic tree. Mechanics do not have enough "oomph" in their tree. While I expect that they won't get something like fusillade or no holds barred, it would be good to give them something that allows them to burst a bit like a version of manyshot for non-repeating xbows.

Wrong, not all the throwing weapons get dex to damage.
@Torc You've Screwed my Build Removing the Dex-to-hit and Damage. My build was using that!

Artificer Battle Engineer tree needs intel to hit/damage. They're forced to put points in the harper tree to get one and use the spells to get the other.

Might want to be specific on which one you were using? Ninja Spy?

ok, ill admit to being completely blind. Where is that in Kensai? The only ones I see are from US and Vanguard.
Edit: I was being blind. I found it!
I'm happy there are attempts at balance being made.
A couple things unaddressed in this pass that should definitely be looked at.
Inexorable advance - this 1 button wonder is way too overtuned, needs to be toned down.
Repeaters - highest single target dps in the game and it's not even close. - i think dedicated melees should at least be able to match ranged dps, won't even mention casters here.
A lot of enhancement trees are way too costly, tempest and warchanter come to mind, surely there are a lot more then that.
Still no changes to the awkward slow casting abilities in savant t5? bit of a bummer.
Coincidentally removing the 5% attack speed from VKF is a nerf to a lot of splash builds that didn't deserve any nerfs, while the strongest melee high reaper builds in the game (SDK) remains untouched, why????
Allthough i do agree that VKF capstone being universally best in slot for almost any melee build is not good, it's removal should be accompanied by buffs to a lot of other trees, not just kensei and vanguard.
iv. Reactive Heal will either scale with spell power or be increased to 2000. (these kinda effects are tricky sometimes)
^This is nice, my i ask if Season's Herald's Spring's Resurgence could get the same treatment?
Is there a reason casters are not being adressed? surely the plethora of forum threads about how god awful they are atm should've been a hint,
30 spellpower and 1 DC in archmage is not going to fix that.

It's attached to Reed in the Wind.
ii. Reed in the Wind cooldown now 8 seconds. Damage bonus increased to 20/40/60%. Instead of dodge now grants Battle Guard. No longer requires Dodge Feat to take.
Battle Guard: Lasts 12 seconds and stacks 5 times, 10 MRR/PRR per stack. Blocking for more than 3 seconds removes all stacks.
