Overshield VS Restoration
Good Day,
I swear, finding straight forward credible information for Destiny 2 is sometimes extremely difficult if you're not up to date with everything happening.
So, anyway...
I'm running Facet of Purpose on a Prismatic build & trying to decide between generating Restoration x1 on Orb of Power pick ups or an Overshield. The specific super associated with it does not matter to me as I rarely use them & tend to prefer gunplay unless I'm fighting a major boss or something.
I know that the overshield basically gives me an extra pool of health, while Restoration x1 gives me health regen... correct? I'd love to get specific numbers if anyone has them. But my main question is, do either of these give me DR? Ideally which is better & why? 🤔

Void Overshield is up to 45 extra health, and 50% damage reduction while it's active. Restoration x1 is 35 health per second, and x2 is 50. Generally, Restoration is better, as it's the only real option for health-over-time, while damage resistance is easily covered via Resilience (3% per tier) and chestpiece Resistance mods (15/25/30% to the associated damage type). However, it's not like these are the only options for survivability. There's no reason why you couldn't use a gun with Heal Clip to get Cure x2 (120 health restored over half a second or so) or something with Repulsor Brace to have a much higher uptime on the Void Overshield. If you're using any Arc abilities, you get 15% DR while in the Speed Booster sprint of Amplified, and the artifact mod Galvanic Armor gives another 25% while Amplified.
