I don't recall seeing Intense Training anywhere on the LB. I think most warriors will gladly give up Intense Training for Deflection mastery. Of course warrior needs to give up a passive to fit this in. This could offer a flat 5000 DR with no + to DR damage just to be different from mage armor. Instead Deflection Mastery is a proper name. Now warrior having the same mage armor passive doesn't make much sense. Combined with their innate 2100 DR, mage has a 5100 DR built in. Mage currently has mage armor which offers 3000 DR plus +25% DR damage. Issue 5: There should be a passive dedicated to DR available to every class. So the max lv 75 DR should be 640 instead of 510 from what I can see on reforge options. Given the 40 block per % calculation, a single slot is worth 3.2% block chance. For table top DnD players, Cloak of Deflection should recall some fond memories. But 5000, or 25% DR chance sounds reasonable to me. Now I don't expect a perfect Lv75 mantle comes with 11000 DR (to equal a perfect shield in terms of block chance). Cloak/Mantle gear slot makes perfect sense for a build in stat slot DR. This is roughly 55% block chance on its own. Issue 3: Shield as an equipment offers significant amount of block rating by itself. It would make sense for a similar meta, that is DR chance > 100% becomes critical DR, absorb 60% and reflect that damage back. There is no critical block like block chance (80% DR vs 40%). Issue 2: DR only absorbs 30% and reflect that damage back. If both enchants should offer similar in game performance, then 250 DR per 1% chance should be changed to 200 DR per 1% chance. The lesser glove enchant offers both block rating:100 and DR:500. In game 40 BR gets one 1% block chance (despite the patch notes saying 50 per 1%). However it's night and day in terms of relative effectiveness. The closest equivalent is block rating (warrior specific) with the sword and board passive. It's a very interesting concept, reducing damage (ranged, magic and area) while reflecting those back to the attacker. I have done some testing with damage reflect.
