i agree whit opening post exept.
10s 1hit shildron will midigate 25% incoming dmg.
aka 75k tankbuster will reduce dmg by 18750
TBN is 20% out of Tank max HP so at best its 65K
that mean it midigate max 13000 DMG

even if u make TBN last 7s it give only benefit in normal dmg midigation.
Similar to RAW and Bulwark is on PLD and WAR.
For tankbusters Shielddron > TBN

in 4.6 i would revalue it because tanks will have then 100k Health it seems so 20k dmg midigation off TBN but atm its like this.

Another hot topic is using TBN on party member.
6500 shield VS PLD Intervention 10%/60%
in case of lets say 50k dmg incoming TBN > Intervention
6500 > 5000 . If tank has up Rampart then
30000 > 6500.

Not to mention that DRK need to decide eather TBN is used for self or party midigation where PLD can use shieldron on himself all time and intervent when needed for saveing some lost soul life.


Overall i changed from my 2 years of being DRK to PLD in my raidgroup because i could not pring up more excuses not to change.
