Well I dont have a high lvl shielder so I cant speak for the needing of a heal in the set. But I just wanted to correct you on that SC isnt getting nerfed its getting fixed, as it was bugged. Numbers were put in wrong making it more powerful than intended, and it took them a while to notice.
Shields can softcap and get resistance and increased hitpoints, and increased killspeed through AAO and Shield Charge.
SR just gets softcapped defence and gets by fine without a self heal.
I dont think Shields need a self heal, having got a Scrapper to 50 with the set.
I rather enjoy the concept of a regen boost being added to active defense and practiced brawler.
It won't ever happen, but I enjoy thinking about it.
Be well, people of CoH.
Having two level 50 /SD characters I'm not sure at all of what the OP is talking about. If you're soft capped, you're taking like 7% of incoming damage (adjusted for acc mods and considering enemies aren't always +0), you also have decent S/L resists which account for most of the incoming damage, as well as a health boost to be able to take a beating. Yet you didn't propose a heal or +Regen for SR?
Heh.

And if you're an AoE killing machine, green insps are dropping regularly.

Honestly. It's not like any high level SD character isn't getting a decent number of greens anyway. My highest shield is only a lvl 30 tanker, and he feels more than survivable enough, and he has /fire, so he doesn't get any mitigation from anything but shields.

If I can park my Fire/SD scrapper in the middle of a x8 spawn, walk away from the keyboard and go make a sandwich and come back to find him still on his feet from nothing but his health regen, I really don't think SD needs a click heal.
Carry some greens and oranges.

Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
softcapped defenses with some good IO +regen...you'll be fine.

Because that wouldn't let him be overpowered beyond what we can imagine. Taking Aid Self would require him to skip two powers he could take if Heal or +Regen was included in Active Defense.

I'll agree that EA probably needs love before SD does. More DDR would be great.
No not aid self...im talking about turning true grit into a Dull Pain like power or turning active defense into a decent heal like they did with energize. SD still seems to take a beating even softed capped positionals, the resists arent very great and no heal can seem sucky at times, i hate relying on ins for all my heals.
and i hear that SC is getting nerfed possibly so that sucks even more.
anyone wanna comment on this or help my cause for SD getting a energize like heal?
