why is defense modded for so rarely?

Question

Usually people mod for protection on durable characters to avoid max health effects wrecking them but them being thicc. Unless ofc they have health based stuff like prot up, SEE vs JMK, grievous etc

But its only on a tiny number of toons that people mod for defense. Do full health sets and prot primaries just do more for ya mines than defense sets and defense everywhere you can (prot everywhere else)?

There is something called "defense penetration" and "ignore protection", but there is nothing like health penetration. So yes, health modding is better, except of course if you face max health dmg or expose damage.

Yes by adding the datacrons ignoring defense it shows that CG didn’t really care that much about balance when doing the great nerf. Their incentive for it seems a bit more monetary. Or maybe they did care but not anymore.

There's a diminishing return on defense. The higher the defense is, the less mitigation will be added from increasing defense %.

And health mods are easier to get/farm than defense mods.

da_bauers · Answer

Farm no. Get yes. They're both the same energy to farm.

OP - It's a holdover from so many toons having abilities that could ignore defence. They changed that with the Great Nerf so there are now many more cases where full defence modding is beneficial.
