WAR raid "UTILITY" (Tank Balanced achieved?)

Sorry, I probably wasn't clear. I meant that a paladin could take the hit of a tank buster for their MT, and twin bolts, double attack and others are exactly what I had in mind when I posted about intervention. So yes, I was comparing tbn and those moves exactly when taking high hitting tank busters using intervention. In particular if you wanted to pair a mitigation with TBN for a tank buster then you could swap out TBN for intervention and likely mitigate as much damage as you would have with TBN except without the mana cost. Thanks for the clarifications.

In addition, intervention is "free" as far as a paladins dps is concerned, where as TBN can be rather costly.

My apologies, your comment just reminded me of a debate me and a PLD friend of mine had before Stormblood about the two and we were flinging math around so I wanted to chime in when your wording was a bit vague :P

Intervention most definitely trumps TBN on double soak busters. As far as the "free" comment, a couple hilarious wipes waaay back in O4S when we were first progressing show me it also has its negatives, like wanting to use Shelltron as well at the same time and only having enough gauge for one or the other.

No apologies necessary, I should have been more clear about the parameters. TBN is definitely nice for small damage, where as intervention is great for soaking shared stuff or to get just a little more out of a cooldown when tank swapping having used big mitigation.
