Shields are too weak

I'm tired of getting two shotted by everything but the weakest enemies in grandmaster portal missions. Something spawns in behind you and you're dead before you can react or find cover. At 400 power I thought maybe I just need to suffer until I level up a little more. At 450 I don't have any problem with damage. I've got a fun arc build using ionic traces with quickly recharging grenades, but a couple of minotaur snipers can ruin my day before I even figure out they're there. There's not even an armor or shield customization system or linear progression of increasing stats like health. It doesn't even change until you get to 100??? Whose stupid idea was that? What am I missing?

  • You're right. Yesterday I was just going through solo ops, purely to guild the star baker title. So it had to be 'Master' or above (I'm 550). So I thought I'd just do it on Master level, so I could focus on snowball kills. Even at Master level, I was getting two shotted by snipers. Ok, I wasn't paying a great deal of attention, but what is the point of being max light and STILL being as weak as paper. F'ing ridiculous.
