End Drain resistance

This question applies to both versions of Dwarf, namely, how do you handle large groups of End drainers?

Today I did several missions on a team, and they asked me to act as a Tank. So in mission after mission of Freaks and Arachnos, I would get aggro and do my best to help, all the while watching my End bar go down, down, down until I was no longer in Dwarf, and shortly after my green bar was empty too. Stygian Circle helps a little, but not if you have all the aggro and a status effect on you too!

I can't find any IOs or sets that reduce or resist End drain. Increasing Recovery doesn't help much because most drainers debuff your Recovery too.

So, what's the best approach in this situation?


Ideally, the tank will die precisely as everyone else starts fighting, allowing aggro to be spread evenly among the blaster. -seebs, "How to Suck at CoH/CoV" Guide

Ageless and storm elementals at 50. Nothing really from 1-49 except a ton of blues.

Entirely this. And some other things. Basically, treat end draining mobs just like you treat mezzing opponents. My guide has a wide variety of ways for Warshades to deal with mezzing opponents that don't rely on dwarf.
