Put it in the pile with 'things that don't work because of phase.'
How many things in the game have phase as a power? I can only think of Diabolique and the psuedo phase by the Fake Nems.
*edit*
Doh forgot about the Illusionists. Can't you just wait till they unphase?
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.

And I swear there's one more I'm forgetting.
"Hmm, I guess I'm not as omniscient as I thought" -Gavin Runeblade.
I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
Of all of them, though, the Illusionists are the only ones that are an issue. Miss a bubbled Fake Nem or Ascendant, all they'll do is sit and stare at you.

yup, but I never felt the illusionists are really an issue either. The lieut's are wimps, and the masters are quite possibly teh biggest cowards in the game, right up there with warwolves. Plink them a few times and they run way the hell off (often completely out of targetting range), leaving you free to take out their summons, and the rest of the spawn just in time for them to come floating back and stupid and happy forgetting completely that they'd ever been fighting you, just in time to be AS'd.

Technically you do hit them, you just can't affect them while they're phased. Effectively, a phased target is just invulnerable to attack. It's a mag-whatever Untouchable status effect. |

For PCs and most NPCs, it's coupled to a high-mag Only Affects Self effect, though Illusionists don't have that little handicap.
This is primarily a problem when you hit AS while they are unphased and then they phase as you hit them.
Fake Nems do not have phasing, they have personal field generator, so you generally don't hit them, although if you do they take nil for damage...
They need to rework the coding for phasing.
1) Phased critters should not be strikable
2) Phased toons should be able to hit phased critters
3) Phasing needs to be the tier 3 not the tier 4 pool power.

I would love it if they did #2. Would be a very cool update.

But that is a lot of code...

Oooh, that would be a fun way to capitalize on single-target damage. Make a secondary with phase and phase-foe, go dark-melee primary. Hehe. Wicked.

I'll have to look into testing that... If it works that way it may open the door to some new tactics...
