My issue with removing this aspect of TBN, then TBN basically just becomes a better version of Thrill of Battle, with the only notable upsides being its cooldown and the niche benefits of shield hp blanking certain mechanics/debuffs.
It would also make it a use on CD skill if the MP cost was also removed from it, and honestly might even be a bit overpowered with a 15s CD giving DRK the ability to eat normal attacks almost indefinitely.
