Tank balance and what CBU3 wants to do with job balance

[Oizen]

Not that I disagree with your point but PLD's inability to tank bleed damage is a big reason it got reworked and Bulwark was added/block was removed from HS.
In which Bulwark now fills the extra mit category, and still does not work on bleed damage.

It would also be pretty nuts if we made Dark Mind work on everything as a Rampart 2. But I guess we'd just kinda have to change what the skill does all together at that point.

They don't need to have it do the full mitigation, they can give it the Addle treatment and have it mitigate 10% of physical damage along with the 20% magical.

Then we run into the issue of it being really redundant for DRK to have Dark Mind Oblation, seeing as they'd both be 10% 10s duration 60scd physical mit.

Which I guess is preferable but I do think its notable that DRK's never had a single defensive upgrade, hell the only skills that ever upgrade for DRK are Edge and Flood.

I place the fault on the devs for obviously not knowing what to with DRK. I'm pretty sure none of them play it, because I don't think DRK would have ever gotten this bad if they had.
