    Ironically, that's cherry picking again but this time it's my argument.
    How big a part does mass AoE play across the playtime of Criterion Dungeons? Again:

Which is independent of the skill's ST scaling and does not even necessitate a nerf, however justified that too may be, to Warrior's typical sustain in basically-single-target-only content.
    And what's more, Bloodwhetting/Nascent (+Stem the Tide & Stem the Flow) is still much stronger than Holy Shelltron (+Knight's Resolve & Knight's Benediction), Heart of Corundum (+Clarity of Corundum & Catharsis of Corundum), or TBN + Oblation in Criterion's 3-mob pulls. The fact that it often enough contributes less than the likes of HS's or HoC's total sustain outside of those AoE pulls only makes clearer that its linearly scaling its AoE potential off its ST potential is problematic (in the same sense that, say, the likes of DRK's miti kit is problematic -- either unbalancing the job in certain fights [see even just DT's first Savage fight] or constraining fight design by forcing each encounter's tank-mitigatable damage to follow an exact proportionality within specific timings).
