You know in reviewing the Merek Avenger against the Merek Battlelord I'd have to say that the Battlelord overall is superior -5% kinetic but much higher resists in all other areas
I pretty much do PvE only and I tamed a baby the other day. I can't wait for him to grow up to be my new PvE tank. With the other resistances so low I would never use him for PvP.
