anything above 45% def isnt going to do much unless you're fighting +6's or so. 45% is the cap. You should be fine.
I run two sets of Oblits for the charge powers, they pretty much get the job done there. I have Armageddon slotted in Thunderstrike, as it is up more often than the nukes and hits more foes than jacobs ladder. If you can spare the slots, 5 Armageddons (Including the proc) + Another of the many PbAoE Procs really does wonders for the power when it comes to both ST and AoE Damage.
I also have Hecatomb in CI, You'd get more mileage out of the proc in charged brawl but I like the purple stats with 90% recharge in the power.
Thanks for the info. Atm, i have 3 Oblit sets. 2 in the charges and 1 in TS. I think i'll do like you mentioned and place Arma there. Then all i gotta do is get the melee set for CI. Thanks again.
I have a level 50 elec/sd scrapper. Currently his melee def is at 50.3%. I am thinking about swapping a set of Oblits on one of the Charge powers for an Armageddon set. My question is, would i be able to tell the difference in my survivability or would the damage and rech make up for it?
I'm also considering putting a set of Hecatomb on Chain Induction to boost the damage potential on that power.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. I'm not a good number cruncher so.... i needs helps. TY again!
