the low down on how def works for squishys in pvp zones.

First off squishy characters you know the type can't get above 20.5% def in a pvp zone go ahead go test it with your corruptor, bring a full tray of purples pop them all at once while watching your def numbers see what happens.

Well that's the low down on how def works for squishys in pvp zones. It doesn't.

oh ya and there is no such thing as a soft cap for def in pvp zones, almost everyone and their grandmom has different strengths of to-hit buffs

BROOOTALITY · 07-11-2011 12:49 PM

Good to know thatnks for the info. Looks like its going to be soul mastery then for the powerboost gonna shoot for that high def at 20.5 but whatever i end up missing powerboost should take care of . I figure i throw the rest into resistance and take that pvp proc out of my first attack and replace it with to hit debuff i should do ok at dropping the tohit and maybe avoiding some dmg.

Build for the HP cap, forget about defense.

Does anyone know the resistance cap on squishys in pvp?

Lucky666 · 07-11-2011 02:47 PM

its the same as pve(75%iirc) but it gets dred. you take the epic resist shield and you be sitting at about 40% res to all.

Just pick up Soul Mastery for - Dark Embrace, Power Boost, and Soul Storm
Aim towards HP cap rather than defense.
