Er... Tankers don't get Ninjutsu? Did you mean Brute?

Brutes don't get Ninjutsu.

Likely why despite my attempts to like Shield I can't put it into my upper tier of defense sets.

I wish they did . . . 

Tankers too.  

Ninjitsu for all!

Same applies to other clicky status protect powers. With just one recharge, there's going to be at least a few seconds gap between wearing off and firing.

Also why I don't play them.

Because you have to spend one extra slot for pretty strong status resist? You're missing out on some powerful sets that way. Which is odd given you have builds in your sig with no status protection inherent.

I don't need status protection to like a build. I, in fact, played support as a default on HC and thus played a lot of builds status protection free. It took me years to play the character who became my namesake here and thus gain status protection. I even took a hardcore blaster to 41. I tend to prefer power sets which get out of my way(see /wp). Even if you have enough slots for it and on auto, there are times when auto doesn't kick in and I have to click it to make sure it goes off. To me that's needlessly fiddly. More so when the vast majority of defense sets don't use this mechanism. "But you are missing out on powerful sets." Yeah, I don't care. I prefer sets which are fun early and not waiting for things like attack chains to finally come together at level 26, 32, 38, IOs, etc. Note, I rerolled a TW/bio brute in the 30s because it wasn't fun. "Dude, that build is broken if you invest in it." Do. not. care. (points at alias)

 

FYI, I actually do have a few /shields builds, but at no point do I see preferring them to builds with toggle status protection and none have hit even 40. I don't have to have status protection. I just don't want to be given it and fiddling around with it.

What fiddling? Add a second slot with recharge, set it to auto, and forget it. And you can have it perma pretty early that way too. You're talking like you're having to jump through hoops to get it there like with getting perma hasten. That's simply not the case. Not like I'm saying you need to invest heavily in it. Just not almost completely ignore it... The tradeoff between the click protections and the toggles is a lower overall end cost.

Martial Arts Ninjitsu stalker....  Just.... Don't.

 

You dont get the end click and once you AS you are dead in a few sec if you dont find cover.
