Among details for the recent Issue 6 patch which were accidentally omitted from the patch's release notes was the information that during player versus player combat, the base Defense statistic for all players has been increased by 25 percent. This is because player stats are normally tuned to be effective against computer-controlled "minions" which are generally a lot weaker than other players, and characters that were especially reliant on their Defense rating were at a particular disadvantage during PvP.
In PvP, all players have been given a 25% bonus to base Defense. This change was made to help power sets like Super Reflexes and Force Field that rely on Defense, as they were underperforming in PvP. These power sets were originally balanced against the base to hit chance of minions, which is much lower than the base to hit for characters. This change has no effect on PvE.
Warshade/Eclipse now gives Psionic Resistance.
Modified powers that protect yourself from Controlling effects (for example, Integration, Unstoppable, Rooted, etc). These powers will still protect you from Controlling effects, but multiple hits from controlling powers can overwhelm your protection more easily than before. However, these powers also improve over level, granting you more and more protection as your level increases. |
