They do stack, yes - but the resistance you gain from TI is significantly higher than that from RPD (30% versus 7.5%), so the extra gain by adding RPD isn't "all that".

Yeah . I've been lucky myself a couple of times by popping Conserve Power and crashing between endurance usage ticks, allowing popping a Catch a Breath for good measure - but more often that not, your 0 endurance will cause a total toggledrop .

Could have had and used the temporary Invisibility power from patrolling... umm... Siren's itself - or Warburg? Can't remember which of the zones.

The defense buff of Invincibility is definitely significant in a well-sized crowd.

During the Pocket D Valentine missions with the Red Caps, I rarely got hit by any of the foes... minion or Elite Boss - unless Rage crashed and I received the temporary 20% DEF debuff. Then it started hurting - at lot! - until the debuff weared off.

It rate it as much a "must have" as Unyielding.

still the max defense buff from it is 15% (I read something about it but it should be higher)...and since Unyield gives -5% its not really noticable..but that can als be just me:P

[/ QUOTE ]
Never ever heard that before... the maximum obtainable defense buff being 15%.

What I have heard, though, is the power affecting 10 foes in range, giving a frontloaded buff (6%) for the first foe and a lesser buff (1,5%) for the 9 remaining. Unslotted, this results in a defense buff of 19,5% - and a massive 30,66% when 3 slotted with +2 SOs (this is of course providing you're surrounded by 10+ foes)!

Subtract the 5% debuff from Unyielding, and you still have a good defense buff from it... especially if you also have other powers like Tough Hide and Combat Jumping running. It all adds up.

It's definitely noticeable when surrounded by foes - and of course not so much when there's just one foe.

Seconded.

1 accuracy, 1 range

Reporting for duty.

Yep, good work people.

Might be there...

I'll be on the lookout for you two .

looks badass!

I'll jump in as Fallen Dragoon and work on the 'Defeat X' badges, so just send a tell when you're about to do the missions. Thanks .

The most annoying thing about the psionic damage I've found in PvP is far from the damage itself, but the -recharge component the attacks have instead.

With the release of I7 coming closer, I realised it'd probably be a good idea to catch up on missing badges.

I'm currently missing a shameful amount of the Accomplishment mission badges (not counting the SF, although I still havn't done any of those... nor the respec missions ) , so if anyone's got or is about to line up these missions, I'd greatly appreciate if I could get a spot on a team to do them:

* Mask Maker
* Stone Cold
* Seaweed
* Strikebreaker
* Agent of Discord
* Soul Taker

Also missing these couple of potentially bugged exploration badges awarded through missions ...

* Shrouded
* Multidimensional

Did you read Lightning Rod has a supposedly 3 minutes recharge?

A really good tanker don't need taunt

[/ QUOTE ]

ur N O T a tanker if u dont have taunt

if ur a "tanker" without taunt ur just another choice for the foe to attack.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not true, Aurora. Tanks also have Gauntlet (auto-effect minor taunt) and (generally) AoE melee attacks that cause aggro to be directed at them. Thus tanks _can_ perform their task without taunt. [...]

[/ QUOTE ]
Not to forget about taunt auras.

But as others, I'd definitely personally prefer to have Taunt, the power, when tanking.

Base resistance of Brimstone Armor seems to be 18,75%, which slotted up becomes ~29%... so it chops off almost 1/3 of the damage as you found out yourself.

~29% damage resistance towards fire/cold is quite respectable... heck, it's more than I get on my Invulnerability Tanker.

[ QUOTE ]
Well AFAIK blaster damage is unresistable in PVP, might be mistaken though if anyone would care to clarify??

[/ QUOTE ]
Close... 30% of Blaster damage is unresistable.

Also, Crystal Armor gives +DEF against energy/negative, not +RES like Brimstone Armor gives against fire/cold.

I wouldn't recommend using it in PvP, though. Got one-shot on my /Regen Scrapper by a Corruptor's snipe when resting near the hero base at one time .

[/ QUOTE ]
The fourth and fifth slot would give you far too less extra resistance for them to justify it.

sorry mate meant invicibility, thats the one that makes enemies chase you around the map like you wearing the good aftershave....(im covering my eyes in anticipation of why i should have that now)

Surrounded by a bunch of foes, Invincibility can give you most excellent defense .

2 end in TI + 2 end on foc acc is less end costing than 1 end in TI + 3 end in Foc acc

When you exemp down to zones you will have no Foc Acc so lower overall like you say if i read what you wrote right.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, exactly .
