Answered your own question, didn't you? 'Almost all' is not 'Everyone' therefor the statement was accurate.

Also, TBN scales off the target players HP%, not the drk using it IE a Drk with 150k HP doesn't give a Shield of 37,500 to someone else other than themselves or someone else with 150k hp. Similarly, Shake it off works this same way, it is 15% of the targets HP, not based off the War using it HP (The only change occurs when used with modifying abilities up like ToB, Damnation, Bloodwhetting changing it to 17%, 19%, or 21% of the targets HP and is easy to test and verify). Thus the suggestion given ends up only 10~4% stronger than Shake it off and they could make it similar to how they have Rphys Dmg mit shields where they can't overlap with one another. This makes it to where it becomes an alternating option of raid wide mitigation similar to how paring a War and Pld already can do.


Divine Veil on the other hand scales on the PLD's HP IE a Pld with 150K HP gives a 15k shield, a Pld with 200k HP gives 20k shield.


Alternatively they could make it so the wording on using Dark Missionary states "When used with The Blackest Knight will spread effect to party absorbing a total of X% of targets maximum HP" where X can be a different % of what the single target ability gives since it is a separate ability.


Again, the intent was to offer alternative ideas to simply giving self sustain and instead playing off the mentality that Drk is a Mitigation tank opposed to other tanks being Self Sustain/mit.
