Nothing hits that hard. that's 2 GCDs. DRK is the least squishy tank in wall-to-wall pulls currently.

    SB DRK puts healers out of jobs. It had to be changed.
    Well. Steel Cyclone existed in SB as well, seemed to be pretty similarly(if not more) effective in SB as AD spam. Come to think of it, even WAR got hit hard too, you're absolutely right, it had to go-I mean, its not like PLD can now machine gun clemency, like WAR could spam SS, or DRK spam AD back then, right? But TBN does have a super short cooldown, unlike Shelltrons build up. I think I would trade TBN 15 seconds to an agreed 30s(no MP/dps voucher) on ST(since we're comparing the two), and allow us to machine gun 4 or 5 AD(delirium window?). Seems like a fair trade off to me(more fair if AD had a flat cure potency regardless of single target or aoe, but I'll take what I can get at this point). Personally, TBN has become the 'Trick Attack' of tank cd, and so DRK gets to be the 'NIN' of tanks. I dont really dig this. Thats literally whats going on here. "DRK has TBN, so everything about it is fine".
