at least, it's make a clear gain.

That's the thing, in my opinion TBN doesn't need a change because TBN isn't the problem. I feel the current problem is the DA dumping.

Changing the DA pot for BS won't affect TBN in any way. It'll change the way you dump your DAs.

It's not an amazing idea, and I love dark mind how it is but... What about changing dark mind's dark arts effect to "Applies to all party members with x" ? Then it's not the same as paladins or warriors, since it's still only magic damage, but at least there's some ability to help your party.

If we go that route, might as well do a DA aoe version of TBN.
But the general complaint is that we don’t like having dps and mitigation tied to the same resource. We’ll always prioritize dps if possible.
Same reason why WAR don’t use IB anymore.

The fact that we're this far into Stormblood with no changes is ridiculous.

DRK's need an extra mitigation or a damage debuff.

Sole Survivor needs to do SOMETHING for boss fights, damage taken up or damage done down. It's useless currently.

I approve those changes.
