ONE MORE additional Note.
I turned off my Tough power, which is designed to give me about +23%.
Not only did I save endurance from not using it, but overall Damage Resistance went from +44% to +41.35%
....I guess I should have never bought the power. It only gave me 3% in PVP!!!!!!!!
ARRRGH.
yes. you just found out why DR sucks. Just slot for damage, its the only thing worth it right now.
drop tough unless you are a fight club tank.
Welcome to the new pvp garbage nerf.

Welcome to the new PvP.... send your complaints to the NCsoft guys who sign castles paycheck
I think they need to issue a pamphlet upon entering the pvp zones. It will have all the stuff you need to know. Or just put all that money on Castle's food per diem.
I can only imagine the faces of new players upon entering PvP.

I don't know. Since Mission Architect came out, I've been dealing with a lot of strange people. Tanks that refuse to taunt...kinetics that had speed boost and fulcrum shift, but wouldn't cast it in the mission.
I figure that new people showed up.

So (and I'm trying to sort this all out) I got the +40 innate PvP bonus...and then +4% (out of my +65% spent slots) for the rest????

You have it slightly wrong though. You're not getting 40% for free plus 4% for your 65%
You're getting 44% for your 105%.
You don't actually get 40% for your free 40%. You only get around 28%
So you're getting about 16% for your 65%
What is a PvP Controller?
Oh I remember now! It's that thing that has diminished buffs, equal mez ability like everyone else, 3 decent ST ranged attacks if you add in the EPP, patches??? LOL, slows??? LOL, low HP, control??? LOL, Containment??? LOL, can't reach targets after using your ranged mez attack because by the time your suppression wears off your target is long gone, but the good news is that by the time you reach them again 1 minute later they can be mezzed and you can repeat the whole process.
CONTROLLERS ARE AT THE TOP OF THE PVP FOOD CHAIN NOW! THEY ARE UBERLEETNESS!
KEEP PLAYING YOUR CONTROLLER AND BE THE ENVY OF ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FOES ALIKE!
Careful though, many people have been complaining that Controllers are OPed now and continuously out damage othes which causes a lot of KSing, so you have to develop a thick skin in zones.
Honestly though, the good news is that we have access to phase and hibernate.

Donuts can't cost THAT much...right?
I'm posting this in general PvP because I know it affects everyone, not just controllers.
I was in Recluse's Victory with my controller. I had spent 12 slots on 2 Resist Damage powers, and they had effectively given me a +65% resistance. The powers were Mind Over Body, and Tough.
But,...as I went in to RV, and checked my powers, I saw that I was only receiving a total +44% resistance.
Here's what I saw:
Smashing Resistance +44.78%
Mind over body +41.62%
Tough +22.81%
Large Smashing and Lethal Resist Bonus +1.58
PvP Resist Bonus +40.00%
So (and I'm trying to sort this all out) I got the +40 innate PvP bonus...and then +4% (out of my +65% spent slots) for the rest????
And I mention this to the rest of the fellows in RV...and their response was : DR
Now, I know Diminishing Returns is in effect. But seriously...I'm only getting 4% of my 65%? That's not diminishing returns...that's "screw you".
And finally, my last question/comment: Is there any point slotting resistance as a controller under these conditions? Because if I'm only getting 4% from all that slotting and work, then I could probably have spent all that effort on something else.
/gets off soapbox and wonders what the hell happened...
