Attack Type Changes

[Darkir]

With the NPC attack type changes, does this mean that s/l defense softcap is no longer an effective strategy for soloing all missions at +4x8?

I should instead do melee+range?

[Astralock]

If you *can* do melee and range without severely impacting everything else, yes, that would be better.

You're going to see a lot more incoming damage if you just focus on S/L.

 

The other half of your question depends on a few factors.  For example, a controller with an AoE immobilize would get more benefit out of ranged/AoE defense than melee defense.

This is not true. You will see more incoming damage, not a lot.

 

Despite the doom and gloom in page 4 feedback threads. This change has not caused even close to the predicated effects from that thread.
