Defenders dont need buff. They heal and debuff and do OK damage considering they are defenders. If you want to be a damage dealer in pvp, roll something else, or roll the right build.

well if your so unhappy then just quit the game and leave the rest of us alone that still have fun. just b/c your pissed about the changes or b/c you suck doesnt mean we give a $hit. take your rants elsewhere, your annoying.

Agreed. With all.
I just can't see how giving defenders more damage would be a good thing. Defenders by their very nature are force multipliers. Dom's have very few powers in their arsenal to rival a defender's buff/debuff capabilities. The reason Dom's were buffed was that they were supposedly the weakest and most under-performing class in the game. I can't by any stretch of the imagination call any defender an "under-performer".
Now if you just strictly talking PvP that has more do with the sad state of PvP in this game than the defender class itself.
My level 50 Dominators:
Madame Mindbender 50 Mind/Energy
Fly Agaric 50 Plant/Thorn
Nate Nitro 50 Fire/Psi

Let me preface this post by saying i'm not disagreeing that defenders sit far below doms when it comes to pvp.
However if we're looking at buffing classes for pvp I think that Widows/Fortunatas need loving more then defenders do. I'm kind of biased because my main and character I play most is a fortunata, but lets compare...
PvP Base Damage at lvl 50
Defender Psi Blast
Mental Blast - 97.53
Subdue - 102.05
TK Blast - 80.10
Dominate - 102.1
Fortunata
Mental Blast - 97.53
Subdue - 106.56
TK Blast - 75.59
Dominate - 84.05
While you guys are complaining about defender damage, fortunatas actually do LESS.

I will atest to this.
I have a fort with 67% damage bonus. 117% if i pop aim. my most powerful attack is lol Poison Darts and it only hits for 134!!!! with 117% dmg bonus and 103% dmg slotting. Everything else hits for 110 or lower with 117% dmg bonus. tested against res capped squishy. which everyone pretty much is.
Have to agree and disagree with some people in here, defenders do need some loving but not in the damage department since they are a debuff/buff AT.
They need to smooth out DR more so slows/debuffs/buffs could have more meaning, also for the love of god they need to work on a better inherent vigilance suck plain and simple 
. Pretty sure that one been asked for years now.
Beside that they are fine, wouldn't mine if they give the patron a buff either. defensive shield, web nade, and hiber.

I don't want Defenders to get more damage. Their damage is fine for what they are intended to be.
The problem is they can't be what they are intended to be because team buffs are useless. Slows are useless. Heals decay, making them next to useless. Support in general is useless.
Give Defenders back their ability to fully support a team and I'll be happy with their damage.
