Yes. That is why invuln and shield at higher levels do really well. They can be built with IOs to have very high defence and very good resistance. Healing is barely needed then. A resist set will probably need some healing, which most resist sets come with . They can build defence but certain mobs will strip it easily with no DDR. They are more prone to debuffs also. That is why i put invuln and shield 2-3 but shield only with good IO investment. But Rad etc are awesome also. A question to all...Do you think the ATO proc favours defence sets more than resist sets, that cap more easily without the proc? ElecA has very high resists already. Resist sets should get resistance debuff resistance also or do some get this?

Yes it is a confusing power. Used for leveling until epic powers are available apparently (most sets don't have this), yet some ATs don't get it or soul drain until quite high levels. The radius is very small and will struggle to hit it's cap. It feels to short of a cooldown really for an AoE and feels too spammable. Yes if specced out at higher levels Dark melee has just had a nerf. SM+ToF is nearly twice the cast time of the old SM for pretty much the same effect. But old SM was buffed in order to compensate for DMs lack of AoE.

I have paid 😛

It seems interesting that the top performing set in your test all have +defence in them and the resist sets fair the worst.

Rad/EM will work well. EM is high single target but not as good AoE. RAD brings extra AoE that will help cover some of EM's weakness. Rad/Elec would have very good AoE though the single target will lack a little. Lightning rod+ground zero will clear quite a lot of trash. Both will work though as Rad will go with pretty much anything.

Yes , this does favor sets with great S/L or En defenses, but to be honest that is how it plays out in-game too. -Rech and -Def was also within these mobs in small doses to have a slight impact, but not be detrimental. From original post.

That is what I do also 😀

In my experience of Tankers i would put Invulnerability or Shield defence as number 2-3. A SD Tanker was one of the better primaries for doing a MoITF buffed mobs no insps/deaths. I certainly wouldn't put Rad Armour so low down. I would put bio offensive below Rad. It is weak to none S/L damage and defences can be broken easily. I think there are weakness to all sets whether defence debuffs, end drains etc that need to be counted for also.

Not sure why you are quoting me on that post but yea that could be a problem lol.

I agree. I am not quite sure how that is relevant to me though if it was meant for me at all.

Never? Is that your words??

What argument is this you speaketh of?

Thank you for that @Lines 😊 A nice response for a change is most welcome.

What was your question again? 🤔

I don't need to defend myself to you or do I? Are you a bully? Educate yourself with examples.

To you at least 😏 Well it has been fun but I see how things are and will just leave it at that. 😉

I thought I was one of those also. The official beta testers?or the elite beta testers?

Change My to Our it is more accurate. And feedback on half of a discussion. Whippitydoo.

Are you guys the Illuminati? 🤪

From very early. If you had used the official channels more you would know this.

How do I know that? Events say otherwise.

It would have been nice if the discord link were posted in the official beta update page 1. Even sending a link or posting the link to those leaving feedback.

No there should not be 2 threads on the same matter. One main official thread and one behind the scenes thread pulling the strings. My feedback did not count as I feel the official thread was overlooked in favor of the other one. Not even a developer could convince me otherwise. If governments were run that way......oh wait a sec.

Hardly common knowledge either, it's not exactly overflowing with members. It didn't need to exist as there was a thread already for it. I feel your group were listened to more than the feedback thread that existed due to lack of any response and alternative builds to test. Yes fair enough but it isn't how it looks lol. Comes across as very elitist. Just saying. What i do find funny is the response this has caused and the "club" members coming out of the woodwork to defend it 😛 Transparency weren't actually my words by the way. I am not really worried guys, it is what it is. It isn't good. But if you are happy with it i guess that is what matters. I will be consoled with EM 🙂

A secret club? lol. First time i have seen this. I don't and won't use discord anymore so it is no good to me. How many other secret liasons exist with the developers? So the feedback thread was a waste of time as others were giving feedback elsewhere that took priority it seems. That is why the thread had so little response. ToF with it's low damage and small radius that is buffed by Soul Drain that is not available until level 28 for some, which is to be mostly discarded at 35 and is not really an improvement on the Shadow maul we had on live. And that is why it is pointless giving feedback. Obviously not so Transparent then. Lol Gold Standard testers....so what are the rest of us? just peasants probably lol. Nearly 35k CoH with over 7k online members and just 103 members of this little GSt club with 45 online at this time. Definitely not transparent.
