Also, can we maybe not trash Avenger's Roll before we see how it can be used? People were bitching up a storm about Miser's being useless before it was actually released, and we know how that turned out. Let's give it a chance, k?

Any blink tank will absolutely love more counter to get shadows back up, so I can see this being useful in situations where max damage isn't as important as controlled tanking. Not like PLD or MNK would complain about more counter either. Is it going to replace the ideal DD roll setups? No. But there's certainly some potential for legitimate use here.
