Cold defenders are one of the 3 defender sets (the other two being FF and dark) that can be soft capped fairly easily with almost any secondary (I am talking about positional defense in this case, I have only struggled with getting melee to 45% but typically it is over 35% which is very noticeable, and if you really are worried you can pick up oppressive gloom from the dark epic pool and that helps to mitigate some melee attacks as well. If you are only picking between the two psy vs archery I am going to buck the trend and say go archery. The reason I would say this is Rain of Arrows is a great power and it does not cause an end crash so you would be able to keep your toggles up (thereby staying softcapped). I also kind of think sleet + rain of arrows sounds like it could be great. I think a great attack chain could be Sleet+Heat Loss+RoA+Fist full of arrows. Then blazing arrow anything still standing. If you are willing to look at other secondaries /dark would be a good choice for the self heal. |

Good input Masque. Only thing though is that rain of arrow just takes so long to get off. Maybe because when teamed for my kin/ def, by the time I had FS hit and then switch to rain of arrows, most of the mobs were dead or not at the spot where I targetted. It was frustrating in that I felt my best attack was wasted. Cold/ would offer ways to KD or slow mobs to stay in the same general area so that rain of arrows would work better. |

And just falling back on the redraw that it bugged me greatly. But do understand that others don't even think about it.

Redraw is my main 
regarding Dual Pistols. It should totally be for the melee classes IMO.
The other issue is pairing, on top of the redraw. I don't care for most Blaster secondaries in general, the redraw would just compound it; you'd have constant redraw with a corr or Defender as well, but at least with a Corr, you'd have better damage to hopefully lessen the number of times you redraw. *shrug*
RoA and Sleet is my main draw for that combo. Though it'd come kind of later on, not sure if it'd be worth it getting to that point.

You aren't quite catching on yet Voo...We all want you to play a buffbot defender.
The sheer amusement of seeing you play one will be well worth the cost of teaming with you.
I can see this now...
Team: Voo! Where the hell are our shields!
Voo:*&*@*(())@#^&%^&!!!!
Team: Shut it! Shield us! And then go get us a beer and a sammich while we kill stuff.
Voo: ::cries:: (goes off to a corner and kills a Lt. while the rest of the team removes 3 spawns)...
...Hey, it could happen..
Seriously.
Hmm....Think I've incurred enough 'fender ire with that little drama? I'm sure it would be fodder for the cannon over on the defender forums...
And before folks get too irate, ask any of my fellow isolators what my current toon is for Wed. night play.
Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.

I admit that I could be biased because my kin/ def is my only arch toon, and that I usually proactive in my buffing with defenders - esp. a kin and its buffs. Had I gone another primary like cold/ or different AT, I may have a better opinion.
I am definitely planning on dual pistol toon and will have to accept redraw depending on the other powers I pick.

I am actually working on a (gasp) Dual Blades brute currently. I figure if I am going to give this whole being nice thing a shot, I should give the "Brian Boitano" of powers a shot. Now how do I create a bind that says "I feel pretty" everytime I jump up in the air and spin around?

Agua Man lvl 48 Water/Electric Blaster
"To die hating NCSoft for shutting down City of Heroes, that was Freedom."
So threw together a Cold/Psy build. Had a costume I wanted to use, and even came up with a decent name.
The difference between Archery and Psy actually came down to what powers I'd want to use after considering redraw. I can easily skip 3 Psy powers, allowing for Leadership stuff, and even a couple of EPPs to help if needed down the road. Archery required more powers overall. It's certainly an experiment anyway.
