Deflect Penetration

fatkidhatchets · April 2017

I would like to see Armorpen offer a 2-1 or 3-1 ration on Deflect severity penetration. So if you have 100% defense penetration you would have 50% or 33.3% deflect severity penetration.

Deflect severity is just really OP they should make everyone 33% deflect severity and put feats in the heroic path to make it 50% with 3 points. Id prefer it to be in the last tier though so people would have to give up alot of other things just to survive more.

Deflection is key to survival for some who choose not to go full power crit. If deflection gets changed you will see many more one shot combo builds spring to life.

Well, from what Ive seen deflect is already pretty much bypassed by some classes. A friend of mine and I used to PVP a lot together. He, a combat HR and I with my protOP. Both toons pretty much bis. Key to the HR success was high dmg output coupled with high deflect and great self healing. During our many duels I was never able to kill him even though my dmg is pretty good for an OP. That being said Ive seen plenty GFs destroy him. So, high burst is already ignoring deflect so to speak. If you want to beat toons with high deflect make sure you are playing a heavy hitter because lower, steady dmg wont do with them, dots also probably wont down them.

I'm fine with any changes to PVP maps only, but in PVE leave Deflect as is. If the devs cannot separate the two, than they should not make any changes as PVP changes could impact PVE players.

All striker classes are not equal in gameplay. Reducing all striker classes to 33% max base deflection is a bad idea.

That's like me saying that all ranged classes should be reduced to 2 shifting defects maximum per stamina bar.

High burst is ignoring deflect is the biggest HAMSTER I read for a while now (except the double mark testings ).

The GFs killed him because they timed their burst rotation. Wait until fey debuff runs out and wait until pathfinder action buff runs out. Start to rotate.

I agree with OP, we all need less deflect severity, not necessarily nullified through armor penetration but in general less base deflect severity for all classes. Especially striker classes should have 33% only.

I should have put the "" around ignoring just for you I know that. It was figuratively speaking, high burst is capable of killing high deflect builds that is why it is sort of "ignoring" deflection. You should be able to understand now

Well you have Shocking. That totally ignores deflect. Also you have chance it won't be deflected.
I don't know.

Every class is too tanky nerfing deflect wouldn't solve that issue. Only way to deal with it is to have high burst or better sustained damage than the guy your fighting
