There is a pretty large level gap between when a T9 can be chosen/slotted and a Destiny Incarnate power being available!

For def based t9s

in the case of /ea that only matters if you are a masochist trying to never use inspirations to get through the crash. Otherwise you just hit a single blue and energy drain

in the case of /nin (scrap/sent) they have a 0 end cost blue bar refill on a short timer, that set sails through the retsu crash like it is designed to handle it.

Only /sr has issues easily handling the crash before 50, but it also gains the least from using it relative to the others. That said, 160% positional def on a tank is entirely, unnecessarily, enjoyable. 

 

everyone is free to petition for the type of gameplay they want, but imo /ea and /nin really underperform outside of their t9. So t9 changes would have to be accompanied by a major revamp of the entire set for me to get behind it.

Not to mention that a T9 shouldn't need an incarnate to be viable.

I agree some of them need a tweak.
