    Posts like this are why jobs got homogenized. Whether that's a good thing or not, I'll leave for others to comment.

    It does lead to some communication, such as who will invuln first, when we only need very little of that even to get through Savage as it is.

    I do think the actual benefit of invincibility is overblown and that SE value it too highly. Anyone that has used Blackest Night a lot on Dark Knight knows how it can make you feel invincible for a while on a 15 second basis, leaving few-second gaps where you're vulnerable. With invulns only lasting around 10 seconds, it's not going to be overpowered in any kind of way as long as the cooldown is a minute or more, because of the way bosses have mechanic, after mechanic, after mechanic.

    I feel a big point, and what OP is likely getting to, is that a supermajority of players don't use invuls at all, and they are primarily used to cheese TBs that normally require swaps or multiple players, with that in mind, nothing but the actual CD length matters, and WAR is disproportionally benefited by having the shortest cooldown, a good example this expansion was EX2, that had enough time between TBs that a WAR could take them both without ever needing to swap, while any other Tank would need to swap.

    The answer is "OP doesn't play DRK or otherwise forgot that it exists".

    I agree with this. Either that or some other tanks can use them with a lot of per-requisities and maybe even sacrifices. Like what if Warrior needed to spend 100 fury for a Holmgang?.
    As it is, they are too boring.

    So many mechanics are just cheesed with Invulns, but these are on *hard* fights. Fights we shouldn't be needing to resort to it. it's boring. Half the tankbusters in Savage and Extreme I don't even get to do properly because lol invuln.

    Being completely fair, the devs have ways to make damage ignore invul, for example you can't Invul Enrages no matter what, anything that you *can* invul, it is something that the devs wanted to leave the option to invul, so it is by design... there is an issue to be stated that anything that can be Invul'd through will, but eh, that can genuinely be solved by making frequent enough TBs if the devs want them to happen while still leaving the option, a boss could throw out a TB after every major mechanic to force past the Invuls, while still leaving the option for some to be cheesed.

    Just like how there is a lot of knockback that you can't Arm's Length/Surecast/Inner Release and ignore, so any KB that you can KB immunity through, it is something the devs wanted you to to have the option for KB immunity.

    I rather want them remove all tanks invulnerability and heavily nerf their self-sustain and mitigations to give healers something else to do then just spamming single DPS skill like 95% of time in 90% of the content.
