    Well... It's not so massively out of line to where it suggests that MT GNB would be unviable. As it's only 5% less than RI. If 5% was the make or break then DRK/PLD would be massively OP.

    Would it be nice if it was better? Sure. But I think that other skills are in far more dire situations - Notably Superbolide being literally just worse Hallowed Ground with the same CD and Camouflage being marginally stronger than Anticipation with an extra 30s CD tacked on...

    Heart of Stone could easily be improved if it applied a better shield - Not related to Brutal Shell's 150 potency one - When used on yourself. So that it was kind of a middle ground between TBN and RI/Shelly.

    The point is that the entire kit is like this. The only things that aren't worse than their analogues on other jobs, are basically the same(Nebula, Aurora). WAR got by perfectly fine with no on-demand cd at all in SB, but it's because the rest of it's kit was making up for it(most notably Holmgang).
    All of those could be easily improved, so I don't see why would you dismiss just HoS issue based on that.
