I read your points! Very interesting, I wasn't thinking too deeply when I wrote the stuff. Was mainly thinking about taking auto attack hits.

Offensively, I've only heard friends say it's boring outside of the 2min. Seems like to be a tricky issue, as the 30s recast ogcd attack we had before was "too busy" for some.

blood gauge interaction too. Would another blood gauge spender button work? 40s recast?

Job designer needs to think of something if they want to keep that magic mitigation identity. I don't think more %mitigation or raise max HP works either. (Dark arts) And it also seems that devs are refusing to give DRK Regen.

I hope they find a interesting way to incorporate more shield based mitigation. (Similar to haima)
