What say you defenders?


Auroxis

I did this more as an exercise than any thing else.

The goal was to make a relatively safe defender with the maximum amount of useful proc-age that I could get. Here's the result.

I won't be building one because I dislike the gunfu animations of DP, but the final numbers give a mez protected toon, with soft capped smash/lethal defense, and lots and lots of damage procs.

How do you all think this would rate?

Pretty survivable, but the procs aren't helping much, as the damage is still sub-par. Looking at it closely the procs seem to do more harm than good(not giving you more DPS than a damage IO).

I would not forgo damage slotting personally, but I can see short slotting a bit, especially when you consider the possibility of adding a musculature Alpha. Here is an idea where I toned down the procs some, while still retaining a large amount of them.

I liked the idea of getting to the Defense soft cap vs. even those 64% critters and I saw it was within easy reach, so I went for it where I could. I am going to tinker some more with the build to see if I can remove some of the procs and rearrange things to get more AoE and/or range defense (if possible, I'll get within 1 small luck of 59%).

Don't forget to add knockback protection.
