Guess I am more the "active" type. I think debuffing is fine as long as you don't debuff 24/7. And well, that led to this awkward tank diversity, you had a WAR in every set-up, cause that's exactly what they did. (And they brought high DPS ofc!) Meanwhile the other two tanks either debuffed strength (PLD) or intelligence (DRK), DRK was better because they could also debuff 2/3 of the time (20 sec duration on 30 sec CD reprisal). (I also miss Delirium-Combo )

I still wish SE would buff Reprisal to at least 10 sec. Right now you can't even mitigate 2 cast in succession. That's either because the casts are 3-5 sec long (e.g. O8s Ultima AoE) or the 2nd cast follows up 2-3 seconds after the first one (e.g. Garuda Friction in UwU). Same with Dismantle (MCH).
