    ya but it's also a block. you can't combine it with sheltron if additional mitigation is needed. they have the same effect. PoA would only out do Sheltron if you take a multihit to the face.

    This is true, we'll have to wait for the exact timings of tank busters to determine if it will come down to this. But this actually puts paladin at a large advantage when it comes to multihit tankbusters. If we had multi hit physical tankbusters requiring layering two mitigations to survive, then paladin is definately at the advantage, dark would need to save two mitigations to achieve the same thing (rampart and shadow wall). And in that case poa and sentinel is still more mitigation. But this is super hypothetical at the moment.

    However, such large damage I think the player base will likely just ultimate CD their way through it, and if it's frequent enough to require tank swaps then it will become less about individual mitigation and more about the party utility, and the most utility comes from double paladin lol.
