Concerns with unbalanced Harbinger abilities

I've been doing some research into melee recently, especially on the PvP side of things, and have found some things that are quite concerning and unbalanced.


1) Essence of Wind - Mitigation (Problem: Cooldown [45s] isn't balanced with all other classes)

I don't think there is a problem with Harbinger having this ability, by itself, but also no other class has this short of a CD on such a strong mitigation (not in a DPS class).

Examples from other classes:
  • Side Steps - Cooldown: 2 minutes
  • Windwalk - Cooldown: 1 minutes
  • Judicial Privilege - Cooldown: 1 minutes
  • Touch of Life - Cooldown: 2 minutes (Note: This is from Paladin, and I know it's not from a DPS soul, but warriors don't really have strong mitigation in any DPS soul. I have seen touch of life used for PvP plenty though.)

2) Blade Rush - Melee Charge/CC (Problem: Crowd Control Effect isn't balanced with all other classes)

I also have no problem with this ability, by itself, but no other melee class has a charge that can also stun for any length of time. Not to mention I don't think there is a class that can consistently stun every 15s and have that same ability still do damage to the enemy, and honestly I feel that's way too many stuns for a DPS class, or at the least the other DPS classes aren't balanced to have this many stuns.

Examples from other classes:

This makes for some very unbalanced encounters, especially in PvP. It looks like to balance this the 4s stun on Blade Rush should be a 1.5s root like every melee class in the game. They could keep their stun, but it should require its own GCD. I also feel like Essence of Wind should have a longer cool down considering Harbs can keep up Blazing Light with no problems. A minute would seem balanced if the charge/stun becomes a charge/root, or 2 minutes and only 25% dodge if they can stun every 15 seconds without wasting a GCD to non-damage ability.

Please balance our classes <3
