Also there's zero reason to ever use the passage of arms block effect when Sheltron is available every 25 seconds and doesn't cost you DPS.
There is one reason I can think of. In E1S, Tanks are gonna take 3 Tank Busters consecutively during Phase 1. You'll be able to shelltron the first and second hit, but if you wanna guarantee a block the third, PoA does come in handy there...but yeah, that's an isolated case. In 99% of this game's situations, PoA is a very bad tool to be used for solely personal mitigation. You're essentially a sitting duck.
