Defense mods are crippled by the same thing as zJolee. Theyre good when youre counting on healing the character multiple times during the battle. But is that really a typical thing?
Most of my fights, its not. Its like who goes first, blows up someone, then the other teams tries to blpw one up, then you go and finish it off.. You simply try to outdamage your opponent, unlike many other mmos where you actually heal up and restore between attacks.
So if youre planning on using heals, go Defense, otherwisr, Health+prot imo.
