WAR raid "UTILITY" (Tank Balanced achieved?)

[Aana]

Snip

The hypocrisy is whining that TBN 'isn't raid utility' because a shield 'doesn't help people much' while in the same breath whining about other tanks having shields for other people being to much raid utility.

You don't get it both ways. Shielding party members either is, or is not raid utility. If it is, then drk has some, and then move along to discussing the power and nuances of those abilities and the entire kit of the job itself. If it isn't, then you cant call party mitigation of any kind raid utility because they do the same thing. Reducing damage taken or giving shields are functionally the same use. If the fact that its single target means as, you put it, 'is for the MT and therefore not utility' then neither is cover or intervention.

Directly protecting other members of your party with mitigation for very low or zero costs cant be a worthless party trick on drk but absurdly OP because its on war or pld. Pick one.
