this will effect many popular defensive paragon builds including

1. tof tank
2. stoneflesh bonder
3. ab para

The best defense is a good offense.

I've dropped my motivation paragon in favor of spear and command. Stand Your Ground is reasonably effective at keeping casters alive when under pressure, even more so with Watch Yourself from another party member (I use Koss for that). Couple that defense with a continual stream of Go for the Eyes and some high damage spear attacks and difficult situations become a lot easier. Not much variety in how you can accomplish this unfortunately.

I played through a few areas where my level 20 sin struggled and had to carefully pull. The level 16 paragon with a very similar party make up made it look easy. Keep those casters alive!

agreed...but I never even used motivation...the skills that got hit this time are ones I actually used =/
