Request for Defensive Warcries

For Content Patch 0.3.0, devs should consider adding new Defensive Warcries to complement the existing Offensive Warcries we have. For example, "Howling Cry" would be useful for a new character in the event you get swarmed by enemies whereas "Defiant Cry" increases defense of your party. Generally, I think PoE2 could greatly benefit from more defensive skills to handle bad situations...

Howling Cry
Warcry, Duration, Cooldown
Performs a fearful warcry, causing nearby monsters to flee in terror for a duration. Bosses and unique monsters are immune to this effect.

Defiant Cry
Warcry, Duration, Cooldown
Performs a defensive warcry, greatly boosting armour rating to you and nearby allies' for a duration and granting immunity to armour break. When duration expires, you and your allies' movement speed is reduced by X% for X seconds.

yes please, this is a must before we get a dual-axe frenzy barb.

but 'HOWL: Sends nearby monsters scrambling away in fear. ' sounds better to me for some reason

Agreed, renamed skill to Howling Cry.

Seems like a good addition and easy to balance in the warcry shell.

Yeah, think adding defensive warcries would be pretty easy to balance. I just want more variety in terms of defensive skills, just like barbarian skills Howl and Shout from D2.
