Willpower: Heightened Senses

What would defense getting nerfed have to do with adding psi resist, when most psi attacks do just psi damage?

Point is those sets lost something, so they got something. Electric Armor didn’t lose anything. Likewise, you’ll have to lose something if you want this Willpower buff.

They didn't lose anything.  The defense is still there.  They just didn't get to rely on one specific defense for everything.  Now I'm curious on it too, did WP get a Psi Resist buff with the loss of their defense with the defense change?

Of all the armor sets that need improving, I'd argue that Willpower is way toward the bottom.  That being said, the lion's share of the S/L resistance comes from mind over body, not heightened senses...

 

I've got to agree with this. WIllpower's such a hands-off, don't-need-to-think-about-it set. I don't do "builds," I'm not perma-anything capped-anything (at least on purpose) and my WP characters are still exceptionally durable, to where I have to check the map and make sure I haven't split off at some point if I notice my teammates not around.

WP didn't lose anything. It always had psi resist in Mind Over Body and psi defense in Indomitable Will.

I'll add my voice to this chorus. For a while, my Street Justice/Willpower Scrapper was also leveraging Unrelenting, pretty much so that I'd have a reason to monitor the Health bar. This choice ended up not being worth the power picks or slots, so I haven't missed it after respec.
