Generally times when you gotta take damage.

This applies to all tank stances, and wasn't the point of what I said.

What I meant is that there is nothing special gained by Grit, but out of Grit, you get literally everything and more (if you're tanking). There is nothing locked behind Grit. While satisfying, its a punishing design. As a DRK, you get candy from doing two things: 1. getting hit and 2. being out of Grit. There is nothing to alleviate the loss of having to turn Grit on or anything meaningful that you get access to by doing so.

Sure, it doesn't matter now, we're at the end of a progression cycle/raid tier. But a new one is about to start and once again Xeno's words will ring true: "Every second your DRK spends in Grit, you're putting the clear at risk."

PLD has this same problem, but, the difference is there is nothing special unlocked by SwO either, mechanically anyway. In all ways the two stances play identically, you're just passively dealing/taking more/less damage.
