DRK changes from Prelim notes

no, they are not similar but fall in the same category with is mitigation utility to the raid, SIO is superior in all sense bcs shield 8 person every 90 seconds for almost every important raid damage, to shield 8 person with TBN you have to spend 120 seconds.

You can pretty much turn this statement around and say TBN is superior to SiO because TBN mitigates tankbusters way better than SiO.

It's hard to compare those two abilities on the same usage, since they are not made for the same thing.

i go to re-writte all the post.

they are made for the same thing, extra mitigation on other members of you team, the purpose is the same, SIO is for aoes TBN for single target thats clear but dont change the final goal, single target shield dont have much more value that aoe shield in general TBN is not strong enough to make any diference on your healers, specially due aoes are much more present that single target mechanics with are most of the time random ,making you interrup you rotation, select the correct team mate and pray the ping put the shield on time, SIO its just straight forward like everything on WAR great effect minimun effort.
we can use TBN to help the MT yes and that dont requred much effort but SIO is 90 seconds, its like a rampart and can be buffed with the skills you dont use or dont need in that moment, it can mitigate almost all TB for you co-tank too and better.

in resume SIO have to short recast it can be used for many single target mechanics too if they want it or need it but most of his value come from aoes specially those aoe chains helping a lot healers to top the party up a lo more faster and all the lb bars they generate from the superior over all damage mitigated.
