    Honestly to an extent, the whole level 86 set is a bit 'bloaty'. Did we really 'need' Aquaveil, Protraction, Exaltation and Krasis (ok Krasis gets a bit of a pass cos SGE is new)? I don't really recall any time in SHB or EW when I've thought 'damn I'm really glad we have this 15% mit on WHM now', more a case of 'I have this 15% mit and Pandaemonium's about to give the tanks special cells, guess I'll use it, because where else am I gonna use it? It's not gonna matter either way, they'll live even if I don't use it, but it's either this or I just leave it unused for the whole fight'. Not done DSR and TOP, but if that's where 'it gets it's moment to shine', that's not a justification for it, a skill that only gets to reach it's full potential in two fights in the game is a bit of a waste imo.

    The sad thing is I've done the two Ultimates and even then their usefulness is limited in there. There were times that I forgot to be those 86 skills for some tbs and the tanks were just fine in savage and even in Ultimate as well.

    I haven't done TOP, but the lv86 set of stuff gets a chance to shine in DSR during double dragons phase because of the sheer amount of damage the tanks are taking. But 1 phase in 1 ultimate where they actually can help really doesn't much justify the existence of the skills in general. They're not even necessary, they just help a little.
