Changes to TA/A Defender for I27

[JulioThom33]

Hello all,

 

I've been away for a bit, but came running back when I heard Trick Arrow was actually getting buffed! I never thought my TA/A was dead weight pre-50, but the debuffs weren't as important in the End Game. It looks like some of these changes make powers I never considered taking not only viable, but maybe necessary (I'm looking at you Entangling Arrow, Flash Arrow, and Poison Gas Arrow).

 

I'd appreciate advice on how to improve my TA/A Offender/Proc Monster in a post I27 world.

I have been asking around. I even asked the PvPers. 

 

Nobody has any idea what is planed or when it's planned. So, enjoy.

I'm enjoying my TA/Dark Blast with only one or two procs per power tops. It's a more defensive build, but I enjoy it and it should be future proof to most changes. This is actually becoming one of my to characters ever, everything I do debuffs and helps my teams in meaningful ways.

I am paying attention to the closed alpha/beta developments.

My best guess would be that damage procs beyond the first in a power may have diminished returns...

Well, I wish they would share their plan.

This would completely gut my build. But I have back up builds just in case. 🙂
