This is honestly such an outdated concept that I don't know how anyone is even still clinging to it. Yes you do need shields to mitigate tank busters and so on, but these are hardly the defining characteristics of these classes. Everyone also seems to forget that WHM has consistently had a shield since the beginning of ARR.
