#BringBackHeavenswardReprisal

This is a good point. Under the proposed change, you wouldn't be able to combine TBN and Reprisal for a particular attack unless you A) used Parry to proc it (again, it would be cool if Anticipation were an actual valuable skill), or B) you know the fight timing well enough that you can put up a TBN 15+ seconds before the attack you want to mitigate, have it pop, throw Reprisal up, and then have TBN come off cooldown again during the 20s Reprisal duration.

IIRC Reprisal's proc duration was around 7-ish~ seconds, maybe a bit less. So you could easily stagger your actual hitting of the button such that [TBN used->4s later TBN pops->wait 4s hit Reprisal->TBN now has only 7s left on recast]. So I think stacking them would be easier than it initially seems.

On a less related note, this was shared on Reddit, and the response, as fitting for Reddit, has been lukewarm. But I wanted to reiterate the words of a user there that have been screaming in my head throughout all these buff threads every time I see someone tell us that our suggestions or OP or too much or that we shouldn't have xyz buff:

"DRKs need to stop being nebbish and timid, shuffling their feet and staring at the floor while going "Well gee guys, maybe we shouldn't be good at anything, it's not fair to those other tanks who are way better than us at everything..."
It's okay to have strong abilities. It's okay to have very strong abilities. It's a good thing for every class to have abilities that make people think "I really wish we had one of those in our party". Warrior has skills like that. Paladin has skills like that. Ninja has skills like that, and so does Dragoon, and so does Bard and so does Machinist, and so do all three healing classes.
Dark Knight needs at least one more skill like that, and bringing back Reprisal would pretty much fit the bill."
