mendal Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 Which works better as defense, regeneration or resist damage?
_NOPE_ Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) Yes. Even better, add actual DEF into the mix for true multi-layered protection. Edited August 8, 2019 by The Philotic Knight 1 I'm out.
Bopper Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 Don't forget added HP. It somewhat acts as resistance (takes more hits to kill you), plus you'll heal back more HP since your regeneration uses your max HP to calculate what you heal. So if you add HP, you're practically increasing resistance and regeneration. Either way, multi-layer it. Get some HP, resistance, defense, regen.

Justisaur Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 Resistance and defense both work better when near or at caps because unlike almost everything else they have increasing returns. They're worth practically nothing when low, focus on one or the other, whichever is easier/stacks with what you get from your powers until near or at caps. It's however easier to get defense if you have neither, and easier to get defense that covers more. Regen works best with resistance as you can recover more easily from more steady small hits with small heals (regen) than you can with occasional big hits that may occur in quick succession that overwhelms your hp/regen pool. If you don't have either good defense or resistances regen isn't going to do much, unless you have giant oodles of it and some other way to mitigate incoming damage such as controls or someone else taking agro and alpha strikes.
