OK without gutting my build I can get in the mid 20's with positional and some all defense.

Am I missing something...is soft cap even possible?

Anyone have a build done?

My current build is all recovery/end and regen hitpoints...I do great offense...but I'm still VERY squishy.

Current Defense is 14 all and smash/leathal 71% resistance.

I have run this way since IO's first came out.

Almost no recharge...atm - didn't need it then.

Any help would be great thankyou...not worried about cost...most purples don't seem to offer much Defense anyway. (unless I'm really missing something)

I have had this problem as well.

I did not notice it prior to issue 18 GR though.

Outdoor maps makes it happen the most. But have had it coming through train station enroute to a mission. The bots stay there...going into the mission - they show up fine.

On a slightly different note...I had stopped playing my Bots/FF MM because I couldnt stay in Follow/defensive...if I didnt get hit - they would just stand there.

Now it seems they attack...even if I don't get hit...just shot at.

Previously I had played more like a blaster with support...now I'm playing more tanker by opening up with attacks...letting the baddies shoot at me..

My Bots do MUCH better and I dont have to resummon or hardly even repair them now.

In fact got rid of all my heals...and picked up the Hero side epics...Fire

Oh man oh man am I having fun.

I do HATE HATE HATE when they run into melee though...but can live with that.

I heard rummors that this was broken because of Demons...no proof.

They did fix the hero cold epic issue for MM's in one of the patches since GR released...so we are not forgotten

Edit: How about an Option to "stay at range" Delete melee attack all together or something....

You are forgetting one of the easiest ways to prevent a AS strike. Its also one of the the hardest learned lessons non-combat experience aviators in a war zone ever get...

KEEP MOVING!

If you don't move - you are just a target. And your probably dead. Its one of the reasons experience pilots have low attrition rates...

Also any aoe effect around you will interupt a strike - even if you don't see it coming..

PvP zones are WAR ZONES!

See him first...
set up defences...
keep moving - or your probably going to die...its the same in any PvP fight..Stand there - give THEM the initiative...expect to die...
