I'm beginning to think She-Hulk's defense might actually be bugged somehow because there is no rational explanation for how quickly she gets vaporized by all sorts of attacks. For the record, this is not a QQ about dying to a huge pack of cosmic DR elites after gearing pure dps. Last night in a purple DR I finally quit trying when the Hood was 1-shotting me. 1-shot through:
over 31k hp
~55% damage reduction
- max points in Blob omega
- 10 ranks in Mandroid omega
- ~rank 40 Defense Attorney
- ilvl 69 slots 1-4
- Fred Duke's Bodysuit
- Adv. Circlet
- Fist of Apoc
- armored core
- Hydra medallion
- ~ 400 relic of subterranea
- defense uru
- durability challenge bonuses
Let's be real. Something is seriously wrong when you can invest this much itemization into defense and still have no way to clear a purple DR boss (granted, it was a double boss). Before last night I spent some time in CMM with the aforementioned gear plus a rank 4 ilvl 80 Shield of Perseus. Even with the tank legendary, 1-3 green trash mobs could nearly kill me in a few moments while picking up loot.
The reason I think something could actually be broken is that I play many heroes with 30-40% damage reduction with sub 25k hp, and even they don't die as quickly to direct damage. My Black Widow, Storm, and even Psylocke aren't getting 1-shot by minibosses, and I've invested all of nothing into defensive gearing on them. Storm and Psylocke don't even have 20 points in their defense passives.
So why is this happening? Why does tank gearing make no discernible difference? More specifically, why is She-Hulk made of paper-thin glass when a) half of the skills in any given rotation will be interrupted and go on cooldown anyway, and b) opening statement has a high chance of getting caught on something invisible mid-air, and c) closing argument has such an absurdly short range that it's impossible to use it without taking some hits?
For reference, I've cleared Axis with She-Hulk. I've invested a huge amount of resources on gearing her. I have cleared many cosmic DR's with 60+ difficulty rating on other champs. This isn't a matter of simply being bad at the game, playing content too hard for my ability, or a fundamental misunderstanding of game mechanics. I'm one of, like, 5 people who really adore playing She-Hulk, but she's just too squishy to play outside of raids. I hope something actually is broken so it can be fixed; if not, just buff her defense and let the 5 of us She-Hulk players get back to focusing maneuvering around her bugs and clunky design without also getting insta-gibbed by weak enemies.
