Jawbreaker Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I'm kicking around an idea between these two combos. I'm wondering what the pros/cons between Shield and Energy Armor are, if anyone has any experience with either of them combined with Psi melee. TY!

honoroit Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Teleport in on shields, get buffed for being close to things then make them all float sounds good imo. Shields has positional defs a lot as well I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulbasaur Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Shield is an all-round strong set with good defences, a max HP buff, a damage buff and enemy debuff and some resistance. Energy is mainly defence, with some minor resistance and an endurance management power. Shield also has a teleport nuke power, which is just really fun. I'd pick Shield out of the two.

Frosticus Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I think EA is an awesome set. super easy to soft cap to all types (except psi) no endurance issues at all +stealth decent heal + regen very good recharge bonus The psi hole is huge though. Almost no protection at all vs psi enemies other than your ok heal and a small amount of -rech protection. If you have a way to overcome that issue the set is unreal. The only thing shield lacks is a heal/regen (has good hp bonuses though) and endurance mangement. It doesn't have any psi res, but is positional def so protects well from most psi attacks. For me it is less of an obstacle to overcome the healing and endurance management of shield, than it is to overcome the psi hole in EA. Both have tremendous benefits though. 1 Earth/Psi Dom - AV killer Crazy Controllers - 2021 edition - Illusion/Cold Poison - a guide to the most deadly poisons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crkohl Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 It’s hard to not recommend Shield Defense every time. Great defense and resists, a taunt aura that buffs your damage, an AoE nuke. The set is amazing. CoH isn’t a game of “best” powers. But for Scrapper secondaries, Shield is a tier above for me. Just wish I could use it with Claws... Anyway, as you can imagine, I vote Shield. Extra damage from Against All Odds and Shield Charges smashing damage will helps when you run in to heavy Psi resist enemies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Gold Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Shield charge is great but I was unhappy with it until I found this bind. /bind key "powexec_location target Shield Charge" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
