Dear Development Team: Tank Balance

[Chrono_Rising]

I agree with this post mainly bar the TBN on auto attacks. In all savage raids and shinryu, you can mitigate auto attacks with TBN with a full tenacity set at max ilvl. The timing is to pop TBN as soon as you take an auto attack and it should break providing you don't have another mitigation CD active or have grit activated and providing the boss will use 2 more auto attacks.

Even if you choose to use TBN like this you will still suffer a total DPS loss for the encounter. I do find that using TBN like this (especially in Shinryu) allows DRKS defense to be incredibly powerful.

I think I probably wasn't clear enough. In my post I am talking about using TBN with grit. When we talk about tank defense I tried to make an distinction between where tank stance is used and not used but I think I failed. I'll try to edit the OP to be more clear.

I know V1s and Shinryu are on the boarder of where the shield will break. I do not have a full tenacity set and take on average 6.5k damage in both turns without tank stance, in tank stance (which many players also use) the shield will not break even with proper timing to catch two autos.

No worries, this makes more sense. In Grit, with capped gear it's near impossible to break on autos.
