Tank balance and what CBU3 wants to do with job balance

Shields are not self-sustain. I get how they could be seen as such, but they are two different types of tank CD's, so they shouldn't have been included. Effective HP isn't the same as actually healing the damage, it's merely preventing the damage from being taken. Let me use an actual shield as an example here for shields/mitigation.

When you block attacks with a shield, all it does is negate, or reduce, damage intake, but it will not heal any wounds inflicted from the impact. You aren't healing, you're defending, and having strictly one or the other only gets you so far.

All TBN proves is that DRK is stronger defensively rather than with sustainability. DRK isn't even on the same realm of self-healing as the other tanks, and it honestly doesn't even need all that much sustain if any. The only place DRK "needs" it is in dungeons and not raids.


WAR and PLD really need party healing toned down though. Party healing outside of niche abilities like Clemency should be left to the actual healers.
