Willpower/Staff

[00Troy00]

Anyone play this combo at high levels? I was thinking of making an Inv/Staff tank to combine the +Res of Inv with the +Def of staff, but some are telling me that Willpower would actually be a better choice.

 

Thoughts?

Staff only provides defense to melee and lethal.  However: it does provide resistance to all in form of the body when using sky splitter.

 

Willpower can usually cap S/L/E/N/F/C defense by itself with the right slotting, but resistance to everything but S/L/Psy is a little low, so that could work out to your advantage.

The +13% res(all) from Sky Splitter is definitely of more use to either of those primaries than the melee/lethal def I'd say.   I've done Rad/Staff and ignored the +def.   I've also done SR/Staff where the melee defense was handy while leveling up and kind of unnecessary later on.  But the +res is always gravy.

Here's mine. I focused on Max HP, Regen, and Defenses. I went with Melee Core Embodiment for my Hybrid Incarnate power. It bumps up your Resists and even more Regen. I love this toon...so hard to kill when you're regenerating around 300HP/Sec. 

 

 WP/Staff is a great combo. So is Bio/Staff.
