I call this Willpower syndrome, and it is rampant on these boards.

ya know, i'll have to agree with you there. Willpower came outta the box pretty nice, with all its layered protections.

Granted, there are some things other secondarys can do, that willpower cant, and willpower really has trouble with burst damage that can overpower its regeneration.

Yeah, people get a gut reaction to something, and run with it. I know Invuln was tweaked a little after WP hit the scene, but it had pros and cons compared to other defense sets even then. A lot of people extol Shields like it's all that and a bag of chips, but it does have weaknesses as well. Don't get me wrong, I like both sets, but how some people talk about both of them makes them seem 100% powerful against everything.

Agreed. Been pretty awesome in my uses so far.

Ok, from now on I will be casting card trick and Hob every 60s or so. (And I'll throw in Build up if I happen to be fighting enemies at the time.)

That idea was the only reason I went through to the end of this thread to comment. I am so doing this tonight when I get home.
