Tanking feels unimportant

[MerlinCross]

It has a benifit. Again 1 whole minute of time which means proper planning can lead to using it more in fights than other tank party mitigations because you can actually prep the thing and have it one cooldown faster than other AoEs.
Its not my fault PLDs don't take a second and actually read thier skills and think of its applications.

That would also require you not to be healed at all during that time and for your healers to understand they shouldn’t be popping their shields for this instance, you’ll have Veil already primed.
Not my fault someone thought of one application and is acting smug about it. Pleas share more with the class of how often you get the full minute out of it.

But hey I guess Veil is balanced around that skill level and if things are balanced around that skill level, why do we have Clemency if no one at that skill level willingly seems to use it? If anything I would think this helps with the idea of “Axe Clemency and retool Veil”.

Like okay Veil is so good but how are you supposed proc it? Not with Clemency it sounds like going off some threads, that eats into your DPS.

Actually because you brought it up, I personally hold up GW2 as a reason I would prefer no Trinity than a half baked one. Back when I played it sounded like the inverse of SWTOR; bosses that hit hard, interesting mechanics and you were expected to have a certain team comp. And the Community did, just not the expected one. Back when they had the stat system(The one where you put points into a key stat and got new abilities based of said stat) it was expected to put them into Power, all of it. Didn’t matter what, all into Power. Damage Race-Rocket Tag everything cause why bother with Mechanics when you could rush damage. They’ve changed the system last time I checked in but I’ll have to ask if anyone can remember that cause I vividly recall the Power debates threads.

I see mirrors of that in this game.
