45% is the magic number.
Quote:
Willpower is a bit harder to softcap than other primaries, but benefits quite powerfully from adding more smashing/lethal defense even if you don't hit 45%. Bringing it up to parity with your energy and elemental defense is a good first goal. Mine gets to just under 40% without sacrificing anything important, and that is quite good enough.

I typically solo +2/+3 with no problem and with teams go +3 also usually with no problem. I've also done a few AV fights and done ok I just didn't know if I was missing something indicating that it is absolutely necessary. Also the AV fights I've done were without the set bonuses that I have now and that I'm working towards so I'm sure I'll be fine. Thanks all!
