smnolimits43 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I just leveled a Rad/Fire, and i'm looking to level my next Defender. I was thinking Poison, but i'm not sure on a secondary. What would you all suggest ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biostem Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Water has a nice thematic match w/ poison, and offers a self heal, which poison also lacks... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uun Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 The cones don't have a lot of synergy, but if you want the maximum -res, Sonic (it can do 85% with a single stack).

SeraphimKensai Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I use a poison/rad def, a fire/poison corruptor, and a electric control/poison troller. Poison is a very versatile powerset and it's great that you only really need 3 (maybe 4 with poison trap as well) powers that are absolutely necessary. And they don't require much for slotting so it gives you a ton of flexibility for your other set and pool powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biostem Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 5 minutes ago, smnolimits43 said: The problem i'm having right now is Accuracy Defenders get the greatest benefit out of tactics, which is tohit instead of just an acc buff, AND it benefits your entire team. It can be a costly toggle to run, but provides a huge benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyonico Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 14 minutes ago, smnolimits43 said: The problem i'm having right now is Accuracy Silly question, but, are you slotting for accuracy? A single Accuracy SO (or 30+ IO) will get you to 95% chance to hit against +0s. And that's before the defense debuff in Venomous Gas (which I think is auto hit). Maneuvers/Assault and Tactics is another good choice, as biostem said, though poison can be a bit end heavy, so running two of those toggles can hurt the blue bar, but hey, two leadership picks means you can get Vengeance! What this team needs is more Defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosticus Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Toot me own horn! I love my poison/fire/psy def. Poison Guide - a guide to the most deadly poisons If I were to pick a runner up I'd look at poison/seismic. Empowered stalag is impressive and the seismic waves mesh really well with venomous gas. Poison/Psi is also looking good with the recent Psi changes. Slotted well the defender ATO's provide a lot of healing and absorb.

evetsleep Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I've been running poison/storm and with some basic slotting in the 30s it's a pretty sold defender. Storm Cell actually has a -ToHit baked in which goes nicely with poisons various -ToHit debuffs. I've been playing this defender aggressively in melee and didn't take Jet Stream (the cone) and so far it works out quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
