Well now, that 2.25% resist is equal to 1.125% defense to all.
Why does resistance get royally shafted again? 6% defense to all is available through silimar IOs-- or 12% resistance.
I think it's official that the developers favor defense by a factor of nearly 6:1. 
(And yes, I was pretty pissed when I added it as well. Why the eff is resistance limited by AT modifiers for these globals while defense is not? Why can defense grant 2.5 times the protection value?)

Hmmm....very very interesting
I agree...resistance gets the shaft....always
Guess ill keep chewing the red shields lol 
Refresh my memory...is it the some AT modifier that gets applied, like how leadership effects different ATs?

Yes

Yeah i don't understand the AT caps for resistances either. I mean, lets compare tanks to scrappers. For one most scrappers wont get to resistance cap outside of invuln in unstoppable. So whats the point? It just makes buffs not work. And the biggere equation, is that they need MORE help to do that, and they have less base HP to boot, which is really where it should be affecting it. Nothing worse than popping unstoppable on a scrapper and dying cause the cap is set at 75% instead of 95%. So lame.

They ought to make it 5%, and for ALL ATs.
5% resist all would be roughly equal to 2.5% defense to all. That would be surprisingly useful and balanced, given that 3% defense to all is handed out twice.
I just got hit with this same surprise tonight.
Bad Gobi is not happy. that damn 2.25% cost a lot.

300 million Inf and it doesn't give what the description said it would.....Ya, I'd be pissed.
It'd be nice if the AT scalers for resistance were balanced by AT's with resistance sets getting some kind of -res debuff resistance. That's the real reason that resistance sets frustrate me. I mead I get my T9 going on a /Elec brute and get two longbow in the mix making my bonus zero. AV's get equivalent -defdebuff resistance to most defense sets. Why can't we get even half of that for resistance?

[/ QUOTE ]You already do. Unlike Defense, Resistances resists Resistance Debuffs.
While a defense set needs 90% defense resistance in order to reduce -def by 90%, a resistance set automatically reduces -res by 90% when you have 90% Resistance.

I wish the description of this IO did not state that it is +3% resistance to all. It would be better if it stated the bonus that each AT actually gets after modification.
I slotted this on my brute today, and was surprised to see that I have +2.25% resistance and not +3% resistance. I then slapped my head because I remembered running into this issue with the Impervium Armor Psionic Resistance IO last year (same numbers as Shield Wall).
I know, I know...all this complaining over a lost 0.75%. I guess it is just the principal of the thing that bothers me.
