There's nothing about the surrounding kit that makes it less able to slot TBN. Its kit is weak simply due to Living Dead being bad, Dark Mind being magic-only, and the kit having literally nothing in place of Equilibrium/Aurora/Requiescat heals. That has nothing to do with anti-synergy with barriers. Nor would TBN be stronger in any other kit, such as if it were suddenly swapped with any of the other on-demands.

you shouldn't be trying to defend the ability that is holding DRK back significantly because of its design.
It in no way holds the job back. We couldn't have had an entire Shadowbringers kit short only Oblation if it was holding the job back. We'd have had considerably less, both then and especially in Stormblood.

Just give DRK some goddamn self-sustain, generalize Dark Mind or offer it a shared-cooldown alternative, and fix LD. That's it. TBN has nothing to do with those issues.
