And if you are getting 100% of damage mitigation you shouldn’t have used it and just lost 500 potency.
You're being dishonest by calling it a cost. It's a risk. If you use it correctly, TBN is every bit as 'free' a mitigation source as Sheltron, Heart of Stone, or Raw Intuition.

The reward for taking on that risk is that TBN is immensely more powerful as a defensive tool than any of the other tanks' equivalents. It only hurts you to minimize and handwave away those arguments, or to - for instance - pretend that when I said "[TBN] can potentially offer 80-100% mitigation on a 15 second cooldown", what I actually meant was "If you use it against damage that can't break the shield, it's 100% mitigation, and let's all agree not to talk about the drastic difference in cooldown time."
