I went evasive recently as ramp tank on vindi and got a run of bad luck. Will be running defensive next time.

When I did my tank simulations, defensive CLOBBERED evasive by a huge amount. It was something like:

• No disc: 2.5s CH chain recommended
• Evasive: 3s CH chain recommended
• Defensve: 4.5s CH chain recommended

You do understand that using evasive cuts your DPS by the same 25% and 35% for defensive right?

I want to say that defensive and evasive don't reduce your damage output here due to replicated Verant bugs.

Vindi is also a lvl 70 mob...defensive would make the most sense for it. Lvl 60 and below is generally good for evasive.

How about for masochists like me who like to solo on warrior, is there any use of the defensive discs or they even themselves out in dps vs mitigation?

Adding in here that while Evasive and Defensive both last for 3 minutes, Evasive has a 7 (3 on, 4 off) minute cool down and Defensive has a 10 (3 on, 7 off) minute cool down, so evasive is much more efficient in the long run in higher level grouping/mini raiding stronger mobs, such as HoT.
