Pld Oath's on GCD

DV shouldn't be used on a whim. You plan its usage in advance, ideally with your healers.

Thats my point, I never said that DV was bad, just not comparable to SP. There are mechanics that it is good for (every single 2H in the game, nidhoggs ahk morn and other stack mechanics etc.), but it is very situational, whereas a WAR can keep SP on the boss at all times. Thinking about it, the comparable skills are really RoH and SP, as they both reduce damage, at the cost of DPS. The difference here is that SP is better than RoH (slightly lower potency for a much better effect).
