Guys STOP

[Absurdity]

Except we do have a rough idea of how the healing potencies on tanks look like, from the media tour footage.

Bloodwhetting heals you for 7600-7800 critical on a weaponskill, which amounts to 22800-23400 hp restored after 3 GCDs (we can probably get 4 GCDs out of the 8 second buff with the right amount of skillspeed but let's ignore that for now), on top of that you have the ~20% mitigation from the buff.

Now if we take your assumption that tanks will have roughly 80K HP, that means TBN will indeed give you a 20K shield.

A tank buster in higher end content is 100% designed to kill you without mitigation, so let's assume it hits for 90K so you need to atleast pop some mitigation to survive it.

This would mean that Bloodwhetting's 20% mitigation reduces the damage you take down to 72K, effectively mitigating 18K damage, add to that the 22-23K healing you gain from it and you can see why people aren't too hyped about TBN anymore.

Now obviously this is only the case if all 3 of your weaponskills crit and we don't know the crit modifier for Endwalker yet, but let's assume it heals you for less than half of that, 8500 HP total, that still leaves you with 26500 damage removed from that attack. Suddenly that 20K shield isn't looking so hot anymore.



Let's take another example, Heart of Corundum.

Same 90K tank buster but HoC reduces your damage by ~30%, mitigating about 27K damage and the excog effect from it heals you for about 11500 HP.




Would TBN be stronger on tank busters that hit like a wet noodle? Sure, but who cares about a tank buster that you can easily survive without any mitigation at all.
