I feel like NF is sort of our keystone or bottleneck issue here. Intervention equates to Shelltron mitigation off a single CD, which is allowing that skill to exploit the hell out of the both-tanks-take-damage-simultaneously fights. TBN is better on whichever tank has more HP without having too much percentile mitigation to pop it. HoS is faintly better on the OT than MT, just in that it at least duplicates the 150 shield potency of Brutal Shell (*soul-crushed chuckle*). And then there's IR vs. NF, which varies wildly and the latter of which really doesn't feel as smooth to use, especially in that your burst rarely lines up so well with their burst, or either of your burst with the periods where you'd need rapid health recovery.

Depending on what they do with NF, we may simply see HoS duration increased, maybe its laughable Brutal Shell heal doubled if not used on a target, and for future Brutal Shells to be affected (if the shield mechanic isn't outright moved over to Burst Strike instead, which would be far more flexible in its timing) instead of only the first, or we may see the self-effect split from the external effect and Aurora buffed to compensate (such as with a Clemency half-heal-also-to-self effect). Who knows?
