Issue with TBN

[Suratan]

So what? Every other tank at that point IS getting free mitigation from their equivalents where you'd then have... nothing. Having TBN isn't balanced as a trade-off with damage; it's balanced such that TBN has limited use events, limiting it towards HoS/RI/ShT. But, by fundamental design that limiting mechanism can make it utterly unusable without tankbusters without losing damage, which creates a far larger blow than DRK is balanced around.

Did you pull wall to wall when TBN did not break? If not, you need to make a reason for using TBN.

I think, TBN is absolutely fine and resembles very good the lore of the DRK. It is all about decision-making with your resource. "Is this worthy enough for making me use this skill?" Or if you want it in the more poetic and edgy way: "Is this threat at hand worthy enough that I need to sacrifice my precious resource and throw myself into DARKNESS?" And if not, just use Shadow Wall or Rampart.
