    What remains relevant is INCOMING damage.

    Let's say an enemy has a cast time on "Spear of <Something>" attack. It looks like a literal spear. Can you block it? No, because this was Heavensward, that's Sophia, the spear is magic, and you can't block magic damage.

    Now, this primarily affects just GNB and DRK, but still to a somewhat noticeable degree: Much of the complaints about DRK's Dark Mind mitigation are specifically because a few of the attacks that are magic don't look like they would be. Despite having a 20% mitigation on just a one-minute CD and that affecting the majority of tankbusters this tier, it looks like it'd only affect about half, which would put it behind the likes of Camouflage.
