Damage buff to defenders? Where did I miss this info?

Defenders will get a 30% damage bonus when playing solo. This bonus goes down very quickly with each team mate.

On the flip side, Defenders will get a reduction to endurance costs of their powers the more team mates they have.

It's a great way to make them more effective no matter what situation they're in.

You were begging for teams at lower levels? o.O I've never had a problem finding teams blue side, as a Defender or Troller.

I have four defenders who will make very very good use of this buff!

I've had the two lowest level ones set at -1 difficulty to help speed them up a bit. I might want to set them back to same level when I17 goes live.

As a person who plays mostly controllers and defenders this will make life a lot better.

... never did to begin with.

Won't turn down the buff though.

You fools! Don't you see that this is the Worst Thing Ever? How will we demonstrate our rugged grizzled manliness if soloing Defenders is no longer slow and difficult? Not that it ever was, mind - you whippersnappers just didn't have the guts! Besides, it's way too good! And it's not good enough! And it's not equally good for everyone! They should have given us a worse better different buff!

Also, this $20 bill Castle mailed me is all wrinkly. I'll keep it, but I'm sending a strongly worded letter!

They need the buff now otherwise, they'll be dead by the time Going Rogue roll around with Corruptors everywhere on blueside.

Well, it gives you a good reason to work on another Defender. I bet Storm/Sonic, with the 2 sources of resist debuff and the extra damage, would be an amazing soloer.

Test has been screwed up for me for the past couple of weeks. Does anyone know if the buff still decreases even when teammates are not in the same zone? Or if pets such as Dark Fluffie which previously counted towards the endurance buff will effect the damage buff as well?

Teammates still affect the scaling of damage, pets do not.

I might actually care to play a Defender past Issue 17.

Blaster mentality makes it hard to play a Defender who enjoys dying on teams, but most of that is really my own fault. (That being said, my Defender has gone from Level 1-33 in 2 and a half years.)

...Okay, I'm fooling no one, all of it is my fault.

Hmm... Maybe I might stand a chance against Malta or Rularuu?

I can't wait until this goes live. I think I'll want to start playing again!

Yeah Sam, I got Bronzeum to LvL 50 too (Defender Rad/Rad) but I am glad to hear I don't have to wait for people to log on to have a team just so I can do a mission. It was getting irritating, this crazy looking Defender who could Debuff GM's and AV's to where they couldn't hurt him (Well the Monsters could but he made it a little harder) but in turn he just tickled them.
I can't wait to work on my Praetorian Arc (Maria Jenkins) Or Actually mean something on a duo or a team of three! Besides Cannon Fodder and a rezzer.... snore....

Yeah, my Rad/Sonic blast was already brutal against AV's
