Hi everyone! I currently have a level 22 Defender, but I am a bit curious about his survivability in combat. Coming from an MMO background (LOTRO, Rift, WoW, Final Fantasy 14), I was expecting the Defender class to feel very "tanky". That is to say I was expecting him to feel highly, even unusually, survivable in combat (I've also created a Sunsinger alt as a reference point). I use Disintegrate on CD for the Force Barrier effect (even have traited the class skill that makes it stronger and last longer), I use all the survivability Defender subclass passives available to me at this time, keep my armor up to date, etc. etc. but even with all of this I don't FEEL particularly tanky. Point is, unless Force Barrier is up (only perhaps 10-20% of the time) I feel nearly just as squishy as my baby Sunsinger. My question is: does it get better? As I gear through the mid to upper 20's and achieve the rest of my subclass' passive skills should I expect my survivability to improve noticeably, or is this more or less it? I know it's early and there probably aren't that many higher level Defenders yet, but I've seen some people as high as level 25 in the Tower already. Any input or thoughts are appreciated! Having a great time in game otherwise. Thanks!
