Amazingly, but I think a lot of that is the sheer awesomeness that is Willpower. At this point. Up 'til now,
most stuff has been Smashing or Lethal, really, and as you can see by her defense numbers (if you load it into Mids; 31% plus if you don't), that just
doesn't hurt much. Plus the Quick Recovery means she can keep all her toggles up constantly, even CJ, and not have to worry about End -- all this with
constant attacks, too. With RttC up, if she can gain aggro on 4-10 mobs she's pretty much unkillable. I've seen regen numbers get so high that she
was getting 45 HP / sec. At level 30, mind. InSANE.
Downsides: 1-on-1 fights mean that RttC is useless, really; and what I've discovered is that she really needs 4 or more on her in melee range to make it
regen more than she's losing. So there's that.
But all in all, it handles remarkably well, and she can go toe-to-toe with Emet and Terrence (both exemped down, of course) in PvP and not lose by much. Terr
was sneaky and dropped her toggles, resulting in a win; I suspect that if that hadn't happened they'd have been slugging it out until time ran out,
which was what was happening with Emet.
Her real problem, and the main reason I've double-slotted Range in Focus, is blasters/ranged attackers. Especially flyers. Focus doesn't always knock
them out of the air, but at least it can hit. That's also partially the reason for Hurdle and CJ -- with those she has a chance to get within melee range,
at least, on those pesky fliers.
