that's the way dv should have been made to work but to the caster the 30 sec "buff" is nothing but a timer for the healer to heal you and ss all with it.
as usual plds get the odd utility like clemency getting interrupted and all. like really plds exchange dps for more useless utility's that don't make up for the loss of dps in general...
I would love to be able to use my pld in the true endgame without having to over gear when the other two tanks can do it with less gear no problem and all....
