Defense; Why is it even in the game? | Forums

[Banicks]

I have been experimenting with a Defensive build, and it doesn't seem to live up to any difference. Using a Conquerer with focus on stacking defensive to reduce damage taken, the mitigation is negligible. Probably because the attack revenge stack is by far more effective from what I assume are multipliers on the back end.

I feel it needs a bit of loving as a defensive player.

Revenge mode defense gives you a 31% reduction. Normal defense gives you 24% reduction. These are at max. Revenge mode attack however is completely different. You get a 96% increase in damage. It's the main reason people are complaining about revenge mode but most people don't know that little bit of info.

Jeez, no wonder defense is utterly useless with those numbers.

It's not useless. I have a conq tanky build it works great. But esentially revenge mode attack just skyrockets in terms of what you get for maxing the stat. Which I think it ridiculous. At max should equate to 50-52% at best.
