2xp Kheld Question
Quote:
Correct. However, you can also get perma mezz protection quite easily by going Clarion destiny. There are ways to avoid mezz in the first place, but I'm not going to go into that
7 year vet here but I've never gotten into Khelds.
I see some changes on the VIP Beta boards but don't know how to interpret them. My main question is this: am I right in thinking that Khelds still do not get Mez protect outside of lobster form? Thx. |

But I definitely suggest rolling a tri-form Warshade.
Edit to add--D'oh, I forgot about light form. Teehee

Peacebringers will be capable of gaining a small amount of mez protection outside of dwarf through the use of Light Form. That much isn't new, but what is new is that Light Form will now be on the same uptime ratio as Eclipse, which means it can be made permanent.

It also persists through forms now too.
Where to now?

PB's get mag 3 protection from light form, so about one holds worth, give or take. It's a bit, but just a bit.

Just did the old scrapper challenge plus 4 mob with atleast 2 rikti bosses.. there was one mesmerist and i didnt get held..
Not saying that you will never get held but its will be a lot better now.. and a lot less use of break frees..
still haven't tested against some serious mezzers though.. will test later however..

I'd like to argue that a Warshade also gets mez protection from any combination of Gravity Well, Gravitic Emanation, Inky Aspect, Nebulous Form, or Dark Extraction with some intelligence.

Technically its true, but I was trying to be precise...

It's true that phasing yourself and mezzing/killing enemies protects you from being mezzed, but that argument could be applied to any powerset/AT.

Indeed it could. It's one of the reasons I don't put much value on mez protection. I learned how to deal with it on all things non-protected before I ventured into melee characters.

Warshades just happen have a great many tools that can help.

Every set has its' Niche, there's always a way to mitigate Mez, and sure the Warshade has some very reliable tools for doing so, but the Warshade also needs to be right in the thick of everything-- We are not Blasters who can hover in the distance and avoid aggro at all costs, because being surrounded by enemies is what helps us do what we do best: Destroy them and stay alive and well in the process.
Especially on a tri form build, Inky Aspect has a long, rooted animation that toggles off every time we shift... Not to mention shifting forms takes time, Unchain Essence is on a long recharge (even on a high recharge build,) and Gravitic Emanation/Nebulous form aren't the most ideal powers to use whenever you can... I think that the Clarion Destiny ability makes a HUGE difference in performance. Sure, you can play effectively without it, but (at least for me) having that status protection makes a huge difference.
