Defence Debuff Resistance on a Shield
Look into Hami-os. 3 slotting Active defense with membranes should keep your recharge where you want it and get your def debuff protection where u want it too

As Ribic mentioned slotting AD with Membrane Hami-O's will do the job... my BS/Shield scrapper has capped DDR when AD is double stacked. This isn't a cheap method unfortunately, but it does work.

Hi All,
I've got all of the Shield powers that offer resistance to defence debuff (Battle Agility, Active Defence, Grant Cover) but I'm struggling to reach the 95% cap. Is it possible on a Shield? Active Defence is 3 slotted with recharge and I also run Hasten - with Active Defence double stacked I'm at about 85% but this falls back to 65% when it's not. Any ideas? Thanks |

Thanks guys - at 400,000,000 each I think I'll have to learn to live with it.

Instead of just "learning to live with it" do some Statesman TFs and choose the Synthetic Hami-O as your reward. If its not the one you want, sell it. Eventually you will have the Membranes you need.

Thanks for the info; how long does the STF take?

It all depends on who you run it with. A PUG may take anywhere from 1.5-2.5 hours (it could be longer, but that is a safe estimate). If you have a group of friends who run it constantly, have a good mix of ATs/powers, and speed it? You can drop that down to 40-50 minutes without using temps.
With temps (remember that it takes time to gather those), I know it's been done in ~33 mins. That was a while ago, so it's probably been done faster since then.

I'd say that a decent PuG would average roughly 2 hours for the STF; more typical PuG times would be in the 3 hour range. A good team who knows the TF and has a good mix of powers and experience probably knocks that down into the 1.5-2 hour range. Getting much below 1.5 hours requires a very good team who really knows what they're doing.|

The STF is one of my favorite TF's in the game; it's also the most difficult heroside.
