Sonic is generally Resistance - Either Reducing it or Increasing it - in all other Sonic Powersets
So it shouldn't be Def based. It should be Resist based.
Other than that, looks cool.
Think that's why the OP wanted to scale based on team size.
Its not about making it a hard core game. Its about making it a not lol faceroll lol game.
Not sure the solo defender should be a huge point of balance. It is after all a team game. To worry overmuch how the most team-focused AT performs Solo is to sort of miss the point.
In teams defenders do not under-perform.
I don't see how you can make it a toggle at its current Regen value without causing some issues.
However is there a regen value where a toggle would be fine? Maybe.
One of the late ones in the 20-25 Ouro range. You have to go and do this fight club deal against his lieutenants, then fight him.
Its definitely a post Going Rogue mission since you get the option to kill him after you win. Also one of the Lts is KM and another is staff.
Also, player power is low enough at low levels.
Level 50-54 Council would be best place to start, since they are the preferred target to faceroll.
Suggesting that people know they are wimps.
So yeah maybe one idea would be to buff certain enemy groups.
Council have def debufs with their assault rifles? What if you gave them aim so they could actually hit you?
Its definitely a level 35+ progressively worse situation.
You aren't facerolling stuff at max difficulty at level 25, even on a decent team.
And some groups are def harder. Like longbow and their freaking grav controller singularity death squads.
I thought it was just Huge companies. But when I got to smaller companies I realized the entire rot was pervasive. Whether it was small companies want to be big ones. Or that you always have people from the big companies on staff, etc.
Either way it could be good or bad, really. When facing against the evil Megacorps ... You never can predict their nefarious motives.
Or lack of motives.
Which might actually be a bad thing. Since they could just be auto renewing their IP stuff with no agenda at all.
Just because its on some list. Institutional Inertia. The actual management has no clue. To legal its just billable hours.
When I worked in Ford World we spent $100,000s just on whatever so that they wouldn't cut our budget for the next year.
Some intern who had no more PTO days finally got near the bottom of their task list.

What is this? 2013 item "File Trademark for City of Heroes". We owned City of Heroes?
Oh cool, ill just shoot this over to legal ..
Hmm kinda destroys the idea other support sets should get no self buffs when you have one this strong available. Boosted or not.
Add this to power boosted scorpion shield and you are rocking.
