Yes, since it works as a set bonus and not a proc, it will disappear if you exemplar below level 22. However, if you get the level 10 enhancement, it will provide the bonus no matter what power you put it in as long as you're level 7 or higher.
Thanks for clearing that up!

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
Something to consider is the "Res" half of it: normally "two and a half Res" is capped, but with the level 10 you get a VERY low half-res . What are you planning on doing below level 22 that you expect to be challenged by?

I put it in Unstoppable, so the low +Res doesn't really make a difference.

Honestly, the defense itself isn't going to really matter below level 22. 3% defense is only useful if you have other defense to stack with it, and exemped that low your sets that provide defense bonuses won't be working and your defense powers will likely be unavailable (and even the ones that work will be weak due to enhancements being scaled down). So why burn an A-merit when the level 25 one will work under any situation where 3% defense is likely to matter?

I'm having trouble understanding exactly how this works. When does this enhancement, Steadfast Protection: Res/Def (level 25), work?
For instance, does the defense bonus disappear if I dip below level 22 regardless of the power I place it in? Do I need to place this is a +res power early on? (I'm making an inv/ tanker, so having RPD early is easy.)
My dilemma [sp? doesn't look right] is that I just earned a level 25 Steadfast Defense IO, but I've got an A-merit to drop on a level 10 recipe, if that's more useful at an earlier level. What level IO will make the most difference via higher defense?
Wow, if there isn't a guide to def stuff like this (couldn't find it, ate least), there should be!
