i'll concede to that i was just trying to see how to reduce pld abilities as i personally find it has the most bloat outta the tanks and it seemed like a good idea to make bulwark more useful on it's own but i didn't think it fully throughEven 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.
