If this is what you want out of a tanking class, there are three out of four tanks in the game that are specifically catered to your tastes. Please stop trying to take away the one (1) single solitary tank that still has some vestiges of gameplay in it catered to people who do not share your tastes.
You are a fool if you think they're nerfs. Dark Mind is straight up useless against anything physical, and TBN cannot compete with Bloodwhetting, Holy Shelltron, or Heart of Corundum, which give SUSTAIN on top of the mitigation. TBN costs MP, meaning it will ALWAYS compete with damage and be a DPS loss if it doesn't break, making it so TBN hurts DRK's potential by merely existing like it does now.

So Dark Mind is better replaced by something that mitigates all damage, something Oblation does. Since 10% is too low and pathetic to replace it, bringing Oblation up to 15% would bring it up to par. By removing TBN from the MP pool and removing the "gives a free Edge/Flood upon breaking", it's no longer a DPS loss for using, and encourages using it. If a heal is added to it, it is brought up to par with Holy Shelltron, Bloodwhetting, and Heart of Corundum. Clearly you don't know what DRK needs right now if you foolishly believe TBN can compete with HS, BW, or HoC.
