The use of the term "tank" suggested that with SY any character has enough armor to move freely on the battlefield - which was always one of the biggest issues of PvE.

Like I said - the skill is to strong to bother with it - but that doesn't change the fact that it's probably the best reason for a primary mesmer.
And no, I am not advertising it's use - I pretty much only use it for Thirsty for the two monks - but that doesn't change it's strength - and the fact that it's not seeing use just says more about PvE then of the skill.
But then again - so does your idea of running around with 16 in Illusion (and AP being godly for that matter ...).

No, I meant Shiro.

Like I said:
SoI has issues that make it far from being the best PvE elite. You are welcome to use it - but SoI doesn't put the mesmer on the map.
