Hopefully this comes sooner rather than later, and is actually a meaningful change or it'll be a one-shot fest when the level cap is raised based on how damage seems to scale in this game.

This could explain why yoda is the way he is right now. Hope my imagination isn't taking me me too far off, but yoda would flourish in an environment where one shot kill isn't the meta.

Yes, and don't get me wrong I'm not asking for the game to be a turtle-fest either. I understand the appeal of seeing big yellow numbers as your enemies do their death squeals. However, defense abilities should also have their use, it will bring more variety. If you want to slug it out with high powered squishies so be it, but let us play with other styles as well.
