This is a great annoyance for my Blapper too - any chance to help out on that?

Sure, i have some ranged damage, but my best ranged attack 8I am fire/energy) needs to be fired within the storm, and I can't melee at all in the storm.

I handled this by adding 2 Range SOs, 1 ACC DO,1 DMG SO and 1 END RED SO in my closer range power, now I can fire it outside of the hurricane range and it does WELL.

Super Reflexes Auto powers (Agile, Dodge, and Lucky) now add some minor damage resistance. This Damage resistance starts at 0%, but improves as the caster loses HP. The Resistance kicks in at 60% HP (when HP bar first changes color) and markedly increases at 40% and 20% (again, when the bar changes color). We have not yet determined the exact values.

Excellent finally something I can slot in addition to def bonuses, with enhancement diversification coming up I was concerned as those passive powers could only hold 1 type of enhancement period. Right now my SR has 6 def slotted in each passive and 4 def, 2 end in the toggles. Enhancement diversification had me worried but with this announcement I can still 3 def 3 resist slot my passives and keep my toggles intact. I was never worried about my attack powers and I will be thankful when I can respec and drop hasten again.

Basically I felt Cryptic forced me to respec with hasten if I ever wanted to do PvP and have a chance. Before the nerfs to elude and practiced brawler for the Arena I had never ever used or wanted Hasten, but then if I ever wanted to use Elude in PvE or PvP at all I had to respec and take hasten, I have been very uphappy I had to take Super Speed to make eludes recharge even feasable. In fact before the changes my Elude was 1 slotted for defense (not recharge). I used it normally only againest Arch Villians or in emergencies. With this change to SR Cryptic will keep my account, enhancement diversification wont effect me with something else to slot now in Passives and my blaster doesnt have more than 3 SOs in much of anything except Stamina (of course) and hasten (which I can drop no problem). With the 12% stamina drop across the board that will compensate for Stamina only getting 4 slots with SOs if I did my math correctly. My Peachbringer is only level 13 and I cant see where it will cause problems either.

THANK you Cryptic for adding Damage resistance to passive slots, now I dont have to hate you for enhancement diversification.
