Thats much better. That Accolade was totally unfair to Def based toons.
Thanks for the info
Sweet, I may actually get this accolade now 
I am so glad they changed that accolade. Stupid PvP requirements...

And if someone still needs an idea of how to get damage when defense based, just make a second build without defense.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

and die a lot, as a bonus you get to work on the Debt badges at the same time!|

I finished the sentence for you.

Rest in front of a orange/red CoT thorn and let him stab you all night. Thats how I have always done it for the 10 mil damage badge. Go to bed, and when you wake up the next morning, you have your shiny 10 mil damage badge.
Obsolete come i16, unless you really want the 10 mil badge, since it will only be 1 mil for the accolade requirement with the new issue. 1 mil shouldnt require any real tricks to get.

As a comment aside, I've always wondered about those debt and damage badges, and whether they're really badges of honor! Seriously, I'd rather *not* accrue debt or get whacked any more times than I possibly can. Now, I understand the desire to acquire badges (it's a fun side game for a lot of folks here), but these are badges I that I will probably never acquire as hard as I try to avoid (and have my teammates avoid) damage and debt.

I need a way to get that damage because theres no way Im getting that badge any time soon unless I turn off my defenses and die Any ideas? And Im up for whatever, even farming or leaving the toon in a mission all night for a week, whatever it takes. |

Why is it especially unfair to Def-based characters? I can understand how Regen- or Heal-based protection has it easier because they take full damage from all attacks (well, 50% of them). But a Resist-based character has the same issue as a Defense-based: they take less damage during a fight.|

Defense-based, softcapped = 5% hit, full damage = 5% total
Resistance-based, 90% capped = 50% hit, 10% damage = 5% total
Resistance-based, 85% capped = 50% hit, 15% damage = 7.5% total
Resistance-based, 75% capped = 50% hit, 25% damage = 12.5% total
Squishy, Regen, or Heal-based = 50% hit, full damage = 50% total
Edit: I just realized that the damage taken badge might count pre-resist damage. if that's the case then I totally agree and withdraw my question.

Yeah, I also fail to see why you should have to be defeated often to get an accolade, especially the debt badge for the +HP accolade on villain side. It may make sense the way the imagine High Pain Threshold to work, but it doesnt make sense that you have to play bad to get a bonus, especially since on hero side you can get it by... I forgot, 100 Fake Nemeses? By winning in any case, instead of losing.

In CoH, if you're never defeated, you're not facing tough enough challenges.

Better to ask why it's more unfair to someone with Def than it is to any non squishy. The protective set you have is completely irrelevant if you are working on a damage badge via the accepted method of getting hit while Resting, since Rest negates them. Since that's the case, it's the ATs with fewest hit points that lose out, since they have a much lower threshold for damage throughput.
