Tank healing is to high

[Kabooa]

Out of curiosity, what's the value in Oblation?

10% DR makes sense for non-tanks on raidwides, but if it's a dealbreaker on a tankbuster then you're probably cutting it too close. And even if we're talking about shielding allies on raidwides, it's worth remembering that several of the melee dps have their own personal shields on 30 second recasts that mitigate the same if not more on shorter recasts than this level 82 tank mitigation move. Its use seems fairly niche to me.

To meme a little bit on the devs, "value will depend on player skill".

The short version is that TBN + Oblation is about equal to the other Short CDs on busters, and only busters, and only then if we discount the healing put on them.

TBN + Oblation = 125% HP / .9 = ~138% EHP
Bloodwhetting = 100% HP / .81 * 1.072 = ~132% EHP
Heart of Corundrum = 100% HP / .72 = ~ 138% EHP
Shelltron = 100% / .8 / .85 = ~147% EHP

Moving into other scenarios, TBN + Oblation begins to fare worse almost entirely because it's the only one of the combinations that doesn't restore health, in addition to the actual % mitigation being lower. Once the shield is gone, which in a wall to wall pull currently would pop the shield and then all you have is a 10% mitigation.

Comparatively speaking, the other tanks still have 15-25% mitigation running, and their "TBN" worth of health is still coming in. While theoretically this means all the tanks are mostly equal in this regard, the reality is that Dark Knights require more support and awareness in staying alive. It's just a matter of numbers at that point, though experienced Dark Knights with experienced healers will hardly run into any bumps. This in part is also contributed to by Living Dead still being a trashfire. That's 10 seconds worth of cooldown reduction Dark Knights are conditioned to avoid using in most cases.

The short version here is that the enemy scaling Bloodwhetting and Nascent have should probably be removed, and then things stop at least being absurdly ridiculous. Finally fix Living Dead in addition to that and maybe the riot will stave off a few more months.

...

We're not really trying to min-max mitigation, though. You're either alive or dead at the end of a tankbuster. I don't see many cases where that extra 10% is specifically going to push you into a safe zone, and even then I probably wouldn't trust it. Otherwise we'd be burning Reprisal on tankbusters.

Cant argue with math...
