You didn't mention what kind of mobs were in the AE missions. If they have defense debuff or to-hit buff, they will be difficult for you. In addition, mobs still have at least 5% chance to hit you even with soft-capped defense, I'm not surprised that you are defeated in a +2x8 missions depending on your luck. For example, every one or two rounds of attacks from the mobs, you should expect to get hit once. If that hit happens to come from a boss, then a significant chunk of your hit point will be gone.|

Any ideas on why this is happening or is it just the ae missions I am doing?

For your build, I think it looks alright overall. Maybe I would wait till I19 to do an overhaul. To be tougher, I would take one with the shield. For defense debuff resistance, you can take grant cover, and slot active defense with HO. The slotting can use various minor tweaks. For example, I would take 2 slots from stamina, and put them to tough. Tough can be 5-slotted with Aegis to get the same amount of AoE defense bonus as 6-slotting stamina.

I have an Elec/SD and it's pretty rare to take any meaningful damage even against big size spawns. Most of the fights are just Lightning Rod (90% defeated) + SC (mop up) and both have a knockdown component. Lightning Rod is just... beautiful |

What did they do to BotZ?

Cut the Defense bonuses roughly in half.

Thanks for the response, yeah I am waiting till I19 I think but I was just curious what people thought. Most AE's I am running I am surrounded by mobs the entire AE so it is not a simple BU/LR/SB combo and everything is dead. Most the ae's I have found seem to be built for fire as they all seem to do fire based attacks that I have found hehe. Any ideas on some other good AEs? Thanks for the idea with Stamina. With the changes I could get grant cover pretty easily it seems with I19
