It was always at a disadvantage since they homogenized tank's defensive kits but kept the way block works the same.


I said this back in Shadowbringers already but if Paladin doesn't have any more mitigation than every other tank, since they changed Block Rating/Strength to be hard capped at 20% and removed a bunch of it's other defensive options, then Shelltron 100% needs to just be flat mitigation.

After Stormblood we no longer had access to Awareness or higher Block rating from gear which meant that Shelltron was simply inferior to every other short mitigation cooldown, because the way this game calculates damage means it completely ignores block when you're either stunned or the damage is critical.
