Razor Cure Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Frozen Armour and Scorpion shield are basically the same values, S/L def and either energy or cold resist. As teh ONLY +def epic/patron shields we can get, I much prefer SS, for the name and the awesome purple color. However.. Frozen Armour can take resist sets, because for some reason the +resist portion is enhanceable, even though I cant imagine many people wasting slots on that stat. This means the power can take the 2 +def uniques (and other +res goodies), making it a clear winning. Can we please get ScopShield able to slot the same? Make the +res enhanceable so it can take Resist Sets. Edited August 30, 2019 by Razor Cure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgefund Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Scorp Shield offers energy def, not energy res. As is, there's no resistance to enhance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer Captain Powerhouse Posted August 30, 2019 Developer Share Posted August 30, 2019 Be careful what you ask for. This would mean the power would need to be flagged to ignore outside buffs, just like every other resist power in the game. That means it would no longer be buffed by Power Boost-like powers.

Haijinx Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Im guessing this is so people can skip the fighting pool. Fighting pool seems like its the unflavor of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fighting pool is ok for what it does, but needing to take a crappy attack to get anything good from it, seriously limits the use. I am suggesting that Scorp is AS flexible as the only only Def based epic shield, in what kinda IOs it can take. 6 hours ago, kelly Rocket said: Scorpion Shield doesn't have any +res to be enhanceable. Check your facts. It has some toxic Resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haijinx Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Shrug. I find i always have too many powers and not enough slots. Losing one to boxing does not seem like such a loss as people make out. I was more commenting on the sudden disaffection than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true..but a lot of sets have 9 mostly good or better powers..or ones that work just fine with teh base slot (like kinetics with IR and the 2 siphons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystruck Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 On a similar note, it'd be nice if the powers in Earth Control that can apply defense debuffs accepted defense debuff IOs. 2 @Twi - Phobia on Everlasting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
