View Full Version : Slotted Defensive Question

Okay I found out the hard way that Lightning Reflexes gives you a glowing aura. Invulnerability makes parts of you twinkle (at least at rank 2). Regeneration gives you lightning looking stuff when it heals you.

Does Personal Force Field make a glowing aura too?

Is there any defensive passive that doesn't give you some sort of crap like that?

I ask because I am getting my booty handed to me at lvl 16 without having a defensive and I glowing or twinkling does not fit my character concept.

Thanks for the help! :)

Defiance has no visual effect.

Personal Force Field has a shimmer across the surface of your body every time you get hit. Much more pronounced than either Regeneration or Invulnerability. I'd also recommend Defiance.

Hmmmm very interesting. And the Invulnerability twinkle starts at rank 1? Do all the defensive buffs showing start at rank 1?

Wish there was a way to turn them off..... sigh.

Thanks for the tip about Defiance.

Invulnerability twinkle was hardly noticeable at rank one, but I sparkled like something from a dish-washing liquid commercial at rank three.

Yeah I remember it from the Open Beta event when my PA was at lvl 40. Of course, at the time I didn't know that was why I was twinkling.

I will probably just make a new character since it doesn't take long to get to 5 anyway. I want to see how bad PFF and Regen are.

This reminds me of my energy melee/imvulenrability brute from CoV.

I loved the sparkles on my guy. Then the dev's decided the villain version should be black looking and it totally destroyed the look of my character.

I hope they don't change it.

I would recommend defiance.

Defiance you don't see anything so obviously visually this would fit your character concept best.

The second least visually distracting would be regen imo, but then I have only used it once at rank 1.
