How much resistance does a troller get with 3 slotted epic shield and 3 slotted tough?

according to my planner it's 54.28% to SL and about 33% to whatever extra dam type ur epic sheild covers.

Aye, about 50-55% Res depending on shield and SO level.

oh that's very nice :P

It is, but it also come with a high end cost and quite a few power picks, so i still wouldn't recommend it unless you have one of those controller builds thats wide open for power picks (i've never seen such a beast )

More if you roll a /Sonic... Sonic Dispersion will add another 19% to all but Psi on top of that.

Works for +def too. With a FF troller you can get "soft capped" S/L defence with D.Bubble/Maneuvers/Weave plus the Ice or Stone Epic shields, and very close to the cap with Combat Jumping instead of Weave.

Actually, you'll get higher res that I previously stated. (I read the first post, hit reply button, got a sandwich and came back to write the reply, brain glitch!).

Your Ancillary Power Pool shield will offer 50-55% odd by itself. Throw in Tough (and if the builder numbers are right on that, not sure but I can test it later) you could be hitting 65-75% at a pinch for S/L.

Epic sheilds don't offer 50% resistance on thier own, they are usually 33ish% for the res sheild and about 17% for the def sheilds. Were they 50% you'd have defenders with more res than some tanks.

The maximum you can get as a Controller is +47.21 S/L resistance in a epic shield (with +3 SOs in Temp Inv). "Tough" similarly slotted should give you 23.6 S/L resistance. That's 70.81 total, and the cap is 75%!

That's using the numbers from Nofuture with the AT mod tables. I trust that better than a hero builder.

I got it from, ya know, in game testing, you may have hedrd of it, more fun than reading numbers from builders. Defenders get about 45%, Controllers about 50%, Blasters get about the numbers quoted in the builders.

I can't say I've noticed much difference between the Defender and Controller epic shields in-game... if you believe Nofuture, they're completely identical (though listed using blaster modifiers!).

There's certainly a BIG difference between the blaster and defender/controller shields.

Have to say that I didn't think controllers got quite as high resistances until I looked it up. I can certainly vouch for the defender epics being 45-50% when slotted though- I've done plenty of testing with my Sonic/Elec/Elec defender and with Epic + Sonic Dispersion he's just under 70% S/L resistance.

According to the "Data standardization" tables Controller self-resistance buffs are identical to defender, tanker and mastermind self-resistance buffs ("ResDmg" under the MELEE column in that link). Before looking at that I'd always assumed that Controllers got less of a buff... and so did Sherksilver's hero builder!

I can confirm that. I just did a quick arena test and was taking 17.25 smashing damage with no TI, 12.07 with TI on my controller, giving it a base resist of 30%. Like Maelwys says, this takes you up to 47.21% with 3 +3 SOs.
