Is it possible, other than trying to get your defense as high as possible to build in defense debuff resistance.

I love the toon but debuffs spoil my fun!!

Ageless Radial Epiphany [Very Rare]
Wide PBAoE Ally
+End
+Recharge Rate
+Debuff Resistance

Recharge: Very Long.

The continuing buffs from this power will gradually lose effectiveness over time before they expire completely after 120 seconds.


Only way I know of.

This.

Dark is a Resistance set. It does not get DDR. Defense sets (Super Reflexes, Ice Armour, Energy Aura) and Hybrid Sets (Invul, WP, SD, SA) meanwhile all have some level of DDR.

Nope. Defense Debuffs are Dark Armor's achille's heel.

Think about it. If Dark Armor resisted defense debuffs, after softcapping it, it would have just about everything going for it, with no real downside. Every set has a weakness, Dark Armor's is lack of defense debuff resistance.

You do have CoF's -ToHit as a consolation prize, though.

I do not have ageless on a Dark Armor tank (yet), but I do have the tier 3 that includes debuff resistance on a Fire Armor tank. Which also lacks any native DDR or even native defense powers. I can confirm that Ageless grants a 85% defense debuff resistance initially and scales down from there as it decays. The tier 4 will likely have a better decay rate.

TLR version Ageless rocks for a resist based tank that softcapped.
