Lack of psi resist in sonic

I recently made a sonic defender and i was wondering why it doesn't give psi resistence, since FF does protect against some psi attacks.

To me it doesn't make much sense, why not give psi defense/resist to both ?

Err /ff doesnt have any psi def on its st buffs either afaik

PS. If we are for comparing them, I want clarity on my bubbler, instead of the worthless repulsion bomb btw

um, /ff has positional defense and it protects against a couple psi attacks..not sure which ones tho.

You mean the Repulsion Bomb that is having a major change right this moment?

I'd prefer Sonic to offer Sleep Res that I've mentioned elsewhere (actually the Repulsion Bomb Thread) as it is a giant ball of music and sound.

Dispersion Bubble gives Def(All), not just positional, but everything else, including Psi. Sonic Dispersion gives Res(All but Psionic), it may be hit-n-miss, but it is still more mitigation.

This being said Sonic has more in terms of debuffing the enemy as well as buffing your allies, something FF doesn't. All swings and roundabouts.

Yeah the one that with the major change will come from worthless to worthless indeed

But all this still doesn't explain why there is (limited) protection from psi in ff but none in sonic...which is what i wanted to find out

Well the explanation is they are different sets, just like sonic can grant sleep protection and ff cant

So by your logic it's ok that em/ does alot more dmg then the other other stalker primaries? just because it's a different set? just to give an example..

I can't accept that reason, there has to be a good explanation for it..otherwise it's just silly

Sonic has buffs and debuffs so it loses out on psi resist.
FF has only buffs (and useless weirdo powers) so it lacks in the debuff front.

EM vs other stalker primaries, well, it is balanced on paper because it uses more endurance/power and has higher recharges so it is better for PvP (spike damage ftw) than other stalker sets. For PvE it loses though because you need dps in PvE instead of spike damage.
