SR Tank defense cap


Infinitum

Recommended Posts

I believe Arcanaville suggests to build for around 47-49% to have a buffer.

Incarnate softcap however is 59% however. A lot of folks say it's unnecessary to build that high though, as any I-trial will have plenty of buffs for you, but I would say personal preference.

Getting defense numbers in the 50's on an SR tank is child's play.

59% is good, and relatively easy to get on SR. I can't agree with the idea it's overkill, unless you always have a team behind you. If you want to solo incarnate arcs on +4/x8, those levels of defense are useful (especially as the IDF has further tohit buffs).

 

80-90% melee def? Largely overkill in most scenarios.
