Blaze The Movie Fan Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Back when defenders were first introduced they were a big deal because you could get attack bonuses by holding something in your other hand. Today however literally every weapon has "off-hand" version meaning you can hold two weapons in one hand. So is anything special about these defenders anymore?

Arceus Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 They aren't useful because the stats just aren't competitive, as you've remarked. I suppose they could be a nice cosmetic if you like that sort of thing but no, I can't think of any sort of utility for them. "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for."

BattleThingz Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Nope, not really useful anymore. I still have my dragon defenders though, perhaps a crystal defender will come out?

Peronix Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 There is a discussion on the RSOF with a jmod about this: http://[Use Quick Find Code]/[Please Use QuickFind Code]?379,380,988,65449021 By the looks of the proposed changes, it doesn't sound like defenders will see any more use than shields do now. The dragon defender will only have the stats of a level 30 shield and a level 30 offhand weapon. And it will only have access to shield abilities, not dual wield abilities (WHY NOT BOTH?!) They are possibly going to add more defenders, but even a level 90 defender would only be a tier 45 shield + 45 offhand weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youmu Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Keep the dragon defender in your bank just in case. But as of now, they're in a pretty bad spot :l BlogTrimmed | Master Quester | Final BossBoss pets: Bombi | Shrimpy | Ellie | Tz-Rek Jad | Karil the Bobbled | Mega Ducklings120s: Dungeoneering | Invention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meranek Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I used to love my Dragon Defender. But EE is a much better option these days. I ended up throwing out my DDs. Pretty much useless after EoC. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
