    Why?
    which would make WAR having an AoE shield redundant, and having rampart, when u have shadow wall/vengeance etc.

    Its about having the extra option, where other tanks have it.

    I agree it needs even more work than this, for many reasons, but its more redundant as is, this change is less redundant.
    As for why, the next part about passengers DPS loss in the next part here.

    (Correct me if im misunderstanding your statement.)DA on your single target attacks gives +140 potency or higher. So the MP cost of 4800 = 140 potency. DP is 4800 mp cost for 100 potency, which is a DPS loss.
    DA+DP is 250 potency, which looks like a +150 potency increase, that seems worth while, but you're spending 4800x2 mp, which should be 140x2, which is 280 potency. so again, its a DPS loss. Only if you're messing up, would you ever need to dump MP into passenger, in order to not cap MP with syphon/delirium.

    The next bit you say makes me wonder if you were for changes to DP, but again, I may be misunderstanding you.
