Problem I'm seeing with Blackest Knight compared to Camouflage now that I'm leveling up dark knight is that once that shield breaks, you have no defenses. Not only that but it only lasts for 7 seconds (and usually breaks before that) meaning you have to burn off another cooldown once the shield breaks. Camouflage on the other hand isn't the best mitigator, but does last for 20 seconds and provides a defensive ability that entire time.

So on large pulls, I've always felt like gun breaker has a better suite of cool downs than dark knight. That's not to say that blackest knight is bad... just I feel like camouflage is better on large pulls.
Think about it in terms of eHP (Effective HP), not in terms of buff length.

TBN is a flat 25% shield, meaning in the 3-5 seconds it takes to break you take ZERO damage. Meanwhile, Camouflage might seem good but in reality its likely going to take those full 20 seconds to make up the same value...and even then, after 20 seconds many things would have died, thus reducing the incoming damage. This is why TBN is better..
