but rn the issue is that if you do that with out the need to even use it as it is now it's kind of a pointless change in the grand scheme of things. especially for those that have costs tied to them (part of the reason people point out it made no sense for WAR to basically have his buffed even further and also apply to himself for applying to others for no cost aside CD). not to mention taking into account thing like TBNs proc effect if the DRK times it well he can pop his shield before say a raidwide use edge of shadow then raidwide pops his allies shield granting a second free edge proc. now thats not to say it's extremely unlikely but it is a valid point to take into account. or the fact DRK did get essentially a useable non-cost targetable mit with oblation with 2 charges so if you really needed to oblation that one healer in the middle of LB3 stance or what have you you still have one for yourself for the TB coming up in 5 seconds
