WAR raid "UTILITY" (Tank Balanced achieved?)

[Aana]

If you cannot see the difference in being able to shield an entire party vs. shielding one person during aoe I'm not certain what to tell you. In my reply I was very clear about the domains that I was speaking about. My issue is with the scope of the shielding offered by paladin (and potentially warrior) as compared to what dark can give. Both shields are worthless for single targets and will likely never be used for such because both are very weak. The only exception is when you are shielding yourself on dark knight at which point it is not utility but mitigation.

I read fine. The only reason you don't like TBN is because its a 'dps loss' and cite the top drk parses to support that claim of uselessness. As I said, check the top PARTIES. Overall high DPS groups, not the drk that got 20 balance cards fed to him and the only goal was individual max DPS.

I looked at FFLOGs and found the highest rated GROUP that had a drk on the list. (the 1st with a drk was in another language and couldn't read it. So I used the 2nd highest raid group rating that had a drk). Looked at neo exdeath. The very 1st high performing group I found had a 99th % Drk performance in Neo Exdeath in used TBN 11 times. Didn't have to go digging to find some oddball case. 1st thing I could find. TBN used constantly in top tier raiding. Must be because its SOOO bad. Good day sir.
