Button bloat possible solution

[MariaArvana]

With Bulwark and TW i may have explained it poorly i wanted to go with the idea that bulwark does both abilities if it had a slightly reduced cd so it can prevent knockback bit more often and with bulwark it shouldn't be the only defensive cd used anyway and with shelltron giving it an extra use. As for FoF and Req neither should be used while other is active and once a fight has started they should be on cd as much as possible the only real issue would be huge downtime where they might both be off cd in which case a default hotbar icon option might be needed

Even with a reduced CD, the ultimate issue tying knockback prevention to any tank CD causes an issue of "You either use it for mitigation, or you use it for knockback." as the two almost never happen simultaneously.

With WAR as a prime example, they get two anti-knockbacks, but will almost never use either for those effects due to the fact that holding them to negate knockbacks that aren't happening at the time they use them naturally results in either losing your strongest anti-tank buster tool (Holmgang) or losing a ton of dps (Inner Release). Even with a shorter CD on Bulwark, losing a basically 30% mitigation buff for 15s hurts a lot to burn on a knockback.

Considering its relative weakness in comparison to actual mitigation, it'd be best to slap anti-knockback on Anticipation as a cross role so all three tanks can benefit from a non-infringing anti-knockback tool; since many tanks aren't going to rely on a medium % chance to parry alone on a tankbuster, and would give anticipation a use in fights where the majority of moves are magic.
