City Of Heroes: Toxic Resistence Not Enhancable Says Geko

Geko dropped into give us the lowdown on Toxic resistance:

The resistance will not be Enhanceable.

The short answer is it was significantly easier to give it toxic resistance (about 3 lines of script once the new damage type was completed) than to give it Defense to toxic. That is b/c Toxic does not exist as an attack class yet (notice no one got defense to toxic). It took days to retrofit the powers system to get the new damage type in. It would take as long to get in a new attack type. Its not that its hard to create it, its just that all existing buffing and debuffing powers would have to get retrofitted to handle the new attack type.

It was simply a matter of time to get something in there for FF Defenders. When we get retrofit a toxic attack type properly, it should get changed from a resistance to a Defense, and then all your defense enhancement will work for it (Which is why it is not Enhanceable now).
