If they wanna make DRK the "shield tank" like SCH is the "shield healer" they need to add similar effects to our other abilities and give them longer base durations. As it is, DADM is useless vs. regular DM+TBN unless we very specifically have TBs like A12s chastening heat (multi-hit, magical).

This is the problem with differentiating tanks based on defensive identity. You have to make content cater to whichever one is the weakest which is bad design and feels horrible in the hands of a player.

I wouldn't say that our kit is lopsided towards magic any more than WAR's is lopsided towards physical because of Raw intuition, or PLD's is lopsided towards RNG because of Bulwark. Its lopsided towards TBN. I would gladly take a hit to TBN's uptime and frequency of use for the rest of our kit without it to not be so laughably weak.
