Defender

[kingfury]

Am I the only one who wishes that instead of Defender Recast (which is nearly useless since the recast is the same as the duration already anyway...), we could merit Defender effect? For example, defense +5% attack-5% per merit, for a total of defense+50% attack-50% with 5/5 merits. It'd be awesome for skilling up, which is something WAR can spend a LOT of time doing if you're addicted to blue numbers like me...

I'd merit it and use it Yes Please! There are times while tanking using -50%PDT gear where i pop Defender in hopes to further reduce the dmg but nothing's doin', and I'm like, "Awww C'MON MAN!! Reduce the damn dmg already!! It's called DEFENDER!" ><' lol

It would be magnificent to have something push our DEF to the shear pimpness of what PLDs can reach, so I'm all for it ^^ /

And I say let us have our old group 1 merits as they are and just add this in with the new lvl 90~ group merits wherever they are lol All I know is, there better be some serious friggin -MDT% option in those new merits to come lol
