Dark Knight TBN

[TouchandFeel]

Part of the "extra" that the other tanks got with the upgrade to their frequent use defensive abilities was actually meant to be provided to DRK with Oblation.
With that it appears they decided to split it off as a separate ability to prevent it from potentially causing problems with TBN not breaking when you didn't need the extra mitigation from Oblation, allowing you to choose to use it when you could take advantage of that extra mitigation or to hold onto it if you were worried TBN might not break.
Personally, I think that part was a good decision.

There are however a few problems around this where TBN still isn't quite as similar or equitable to the other tank frequent use defensives as it really should be.
First is that while Oblation acts as that extra layer of % mitigation that the others get, the other defensives upgrades also include some sort of "on ending/completion" effect such as a heal, regen or shield. TBN doesn't have an equivalent extra 3rd effect like that and so the requests to add an additional effect to when the TBN shield breaks like a regen or burst heal seems pretty reasonable to me.
Second is that Oblation is on a 60s recast which makes it available less than half as often as the other tanks' upgraded frequent use defensives. Getting to take advantage of that extra upgraded mitigation every 25s or so versus every 60s seems unequal to me. Based on this, I really feel like Oblation should instead be on 30s recast.
