There is a certain bias in the defense buffs from awakened tree. You can loadout hyper deflect along with any other defense. Now this probally was done on how hackers were over powered in the old system, however after many changes the system is fair enough and infact hackers are at a dis-advantage now, people can loadout to defend against them and any other tree.

Its about time you sort this out, and frankly there are only 2 fair options.

1. Allow the loading of ANY 2 defense.
2. Only allow a SINGLE defense at any time.

Im sure most ppl prefer any 2, but then a lot wouldnt like that either, I think 1 defense makes pvp interesting.

If you take away the ability of people to load Hyper-Deflect along with another of the defenses, we'd be back to the same complaints we had before CR2. Hackers were overpowered there. Now they've been given special attention in regards to defense because Viral damage is nothing like the way Operative trees work. It's closest to Thrown in that it has DoT's, but the DoT's in Hacker trees are quite powerful compared to Sever Artery or Neurodart.

 Talk to Broin or Bayamos on Vector. They're very good hackers, despite Hyper-Deflect. You're only going to beat the p*ss out of a hacker if the Hacker doesn't know what he's doing or you're prepared to fight a Hacker, specifically. Most people don't prepare for Hackers because it's uncommon nowdays since they've balanced the game to where Gunmen and MA's are worth playing in PVP. Removing our ability to load Hyper-Deflect is going to give them an edge that will cause more grief.

If I were you guys, I'd be more concerned about the people using macros with a Scattershot/Patcher or Kung Fu/Patcher build, so they can spam heals while in interlock. All you need is to use the clothing bug exploit for accuracy, then switch to IS regen gear and you can keep yourself healed indefinitely while you wait for a status like Dazed or Staggered.
