I heard it's a lot easier for all builds. Extremely heavy characters should be easier to control. Also, if you stunlock a shielded enemy and stagger them, they'll go into a stunned position which is the equivalent of a backstab. That makes it a lot easier to use a tank build than to go agile and cartwheel behind your enemy.
