This earring would be wonderful for times when you are fighting a CoP/Zilart/Dynamis/Sky/ETC mission of a guard/NM/ENM fight when the true tank falls and you are the only one left to tank and need some serious defense for that last few seconds when the mob is only at 10%, or less, hp or until the tank can get back on his feet and get hate back. We have all been there. Even though I strongly believe that a warrior is still a great tank, given the right subjob and gear, this earring would never be beneficial in an exp pt for a warrior since the enhancement wears off after a little bit (I believe after a min or less). For those of you debating on whether this can (emphasis on the word 'CAN') be used on a war tank, don't waste your time or earring slot. This earring can make the difference between a win and a loss in those crazy last moments of a fight.
Also, since warriors tend to generate alot of hate when fighting with a party, this can be used to temporarily boost defense while the tank gets hate back (ie waiting for provoke timer to get to 0).
Definitely a great piece of equipment for those crazy final moments of a mission/nm fight when the tank goes down.
Cheers,

-edit: I frogot to mention, don't forget that it takes 30seconds to be able to use it and after you use this, it takes a few seconds to be able to cast anything, so make sure to time your use effectively and not waste a charge. The only way to recharge is to toss it when it's done and go try for a new one.
