but i've found there is very little reason to roll a defender anymore since the different mod numbers for de/buffs isn't that noticable and corr's do more damage. and vigilance is a useless mechanic. i suppose if you're just hellbent on playing FF or empathy but otherwise...
for instance i was waiting very patiently for a fire proliferation so i could roll TA/fire but ended up getting bored and went corr.
Positron's i13 letter: We are trying to make PvP more accessible to new players, while giving experienced PvP'ers the advantage that comes with formulating tactics around the new systems we're putting in place. PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.
I still love FF with all my heart and soul, I haven't found any other set that gives me as much challenge or unusual abilities to accomplish bizzare and "out of the box" feats as Force Fields.
Truth be told outside of three specific builds I'm done rolling new characters. Only a build with SS, and or Inv could make it go to a fourth since it feels odd to play this game for so long with so many characters and never really level those sets.
No fire for defenders, no FF for corruptors yet, and no Thermal for defenders either, Thermal is a proliferation I would play.
In other news, there are some folks in the mastermind boards that are convinced that Aid Other trumps Deflection Shield and Insulation Shield on Masterminds.

Funny, I was thinking the opposite, with the new vigilance +dmg buff for soloing, the reason for rolling a Corr has decreased. Those "not that noticable" buff/debuff values certainly get magnified on a team.|

This isn't a "pro Def over Corr" post, just rather to point out there's every reason to roll a def.
Global = Hedgefund (or some derivation thereof)
Did Defenders get /fire yet? Or did Corruptors get Force Fields yet? Because those two are just about the only things that would make me roll a new character.
