I have a 36 Sonic/Eng blaster and have been getting in situations lately where my defiance bar is pretty up there and I'm gonna go down and without other choices I go for defiance.
Sometimes it is in PVP so I don't care and sometimes it is in PVE where it means debt. I can't run away and I dont' have a green left but say I have a big hit power up but most of the time it doesnt' go off. I mean I can understand I'm gonna eat dirt but if my attack animation starts I should at least get like a being hospitalized blow?
I do hit bad lag in big fights sometimes so maybe it is my client behind and I'm already eating dirt but why then start the animation of the attack?
To me there is no other reason for defiance if I could run I woulda ran and if I could heal I would heal. I'm sure this probably always happend to me in other characters just since defiance means I have to be almost dead to use it I now notice that it is unusable at least for me on my machine with sonic attacks. It seems impossible with Dreadful Whail and Shout but my little scream sometimes has worked but it is kind of hard to duplicate the situation and really test it out.
If we don't get a hospitalized blow and if we don't finish our 3 second little show before our power hits before we die then wow this super sucks.
