People Don't Know How to Use Defenders
This is such a stupid argument because the same can be said about any subclass. Just because you think that people don't know how to use it, that doesn't mean that it's true. Any person that is competent enough can use Defender effectively. That being said, the super still needs a buff because it is easily counterable compared to other supers and it has very little defenses despite its description.
And please don't use the argument that I stated above. It is really getting old and just has so many flaws to it.
Edit: Also don't give me any tips for "how to use" Defender because I didn't ask for any. I want real arguments and a real discussion. If I wanted your tips I would ask for them.
Edit: Simple buffs to incorporate would be to make the bubble indestructible or give it additional health and/or make it so that enemies get suppressed when they enter the bubble. I would also be fine if one or both of these were a perk in the skill tree to replace maybe Iron Harvest.

4 RepliesI agree with you concerning the bit about the argument being silly, but nothing else. Several classes, Bladedancer and Stormcallers for example, have no counter to the Ward except to enter and challenge the Defender. Suppressing enemies inside the Ward would make it go from too easy to counter to impossible to counter. It's just not going to happen. The "neutral" columns available to the Defender contain four talents that affect the super and nothing else. No other class has a similar circumstance. That, in my estimation, is the real problem with Defender. You want to take one of the two talents that grants an effect apart from Ward of Dawn and replace it with another talent that only affects Ward of Dawn. That is a move in entirely the wrong direction. The Ward is somewhat comparable to the Sunsinger's Radiance in that (with the exception of the deployable cover) it primarily buffs the Defender in the capacity in which he would normally engage enemies. If the Defender's neutral game were to see improvement, as I assert is needed, it would have the effect of increasing his capacity to fight in and around the Ward as well.
