Super Speed used to give a good defense bonus. As it is fast enough out of the box, everyone was six-slotting it for defense instead of travel.

Superspeed in live gives no defense bonus whatsoever. This is simply wrong.

No, it *USED* to give a defense bonus. Before they changed it some time after Beta ended. (To the many cries of Superspeeders complaining it would forever ruin Super Speed)
pie.

It used to BBhumeBB. They then took away that defence bonus and replaced it with a stealth component to keep the travel power safe for travel but not that useful in combat. Now, however, people are adding stealth to their super speed builds to that then can walk into the middle of a group of mobs as if they were invisible.

Superspeed has aggro mitigation but no +def. Addign stealth stacks the aggro mitigation, but the defense is purely derived from the Stealth power. Once you attack, you aggro normally.
Since SS was modified to remove acc or def modifiers and go with aggro mitigation within a few weeks of go-live, which is to say almost a year ago, it is irrelevant to the experience of players since go-live what it did back in the day.
Consistency is handy, but I can do without it when a bad design decision in applied consistently.
My scrapper doesn't need an AoE. She IS an AoE.

I misread the timestamp on SS having +def. In extenutation, I plead the mixed tense of saying "It IS fast enough out of the box," which made me think you meant those parameters currently applied on live. Sorry for the confusion.

Personally I prefer that they change powers concurrently for both PvE and PvP as I prefer my powers to be more consistent and not alter radically just because I'm attacking another player. The consistency is more important for me.
