That's how it works for many games after all. That's also why many games tend to work damage mitigation as defense in KP and not straight up reduction.
That's a fair point, but I think don't think situation of "do I take FLB Assault/Defender or FLB Pride/Defender" will happen to that many of people soon (though I may be mistaken, because in late February/early March veteran players may have 8 FLB weapons from events alone).
