    So getting closer to perma hasten while taking up the 3 slots isnt worth it for this build?
  2. _UJ_
    So would the two slots in true gift and battle agility for the resist be a waste? Should I get rid of them so I can slot other things into my build?

    Ya just tried it in mids, and you were right, thanks for the help!

    Was just looking around on the forums and was hearing talk of DDR cap on a SD scrapper, but I can't seem to get the cap on my SD builds on mids, even with HOs and Grant Cover, anyone care to explain to me how to hit this DDR cap please? Thanks!

    However, my SR brute with 46% def to all needs to take the alpha from a double spawn of def debuffing enemies to drop below 40% def, so the difference is negligible.

    Ah, didn't know it capped at 95%, was just looking at mid's numbers, I just leveled my SR brute to 50 today so I will see how the defence debuffers effect me soon enough, and mine also has 46% to all, bought the enhances for him today as well, still am doing tip missions, but from what I have heard they are pretty damn survivable, even if the enemies debuff defence a lot (especially with aid self when they do occasionaly hit you).

    Hello everyone, I've been gone from the game a while playing CO, and have recently come back to the game. I want a Fire Melee/Shield Defence character, but I can't decide wether to make a brute or scrapper. I made builds for both on mids, the scrapper would do more damage with Against All Odds damage buff maxed out then the brute would with fury at around 75 and damage buff from against all odds fully buffed, but the brute would do more damage with his fury in the 75-80 with only one target around him than the scrapper with only one target around him. This new toon will just be for PvE, not really for farming, just an all around TF toon and what not, and was just wondering which I should go with for PvE. Thanks!

    Also here are my builds that I made if you want to take a look:

My /elec brute has about 38% defense to melee, 32% to s/l and 0 DDR. She's just fine against nearly all enemies, even romans. Why? Because when the defense goes negative she stlll has 100% of the powers and survivability that the Devs feel are balanced against a pure defense set. IE her resists and heal. When a /SR goes into the negatives it may as well be a blaster (splat).

    Getting defense gives you an extra layer to the onion that is your survivability. This is purely a good thing. 15% makes a solid difference in your survivability. 25% you will really feel the difference. 35% is all you need, at that point popping a small purple is no different than having access to a crashless tier 9 power. 45% is totally unnecessary, but fun.
    Well a SR wouldnt go in to the negatives concidering it has 100% DDR on my build.
