Is it too early to say "Looks like its going to be a good year for pvp changes?".

Saying that, its not much of a nerf, still an improvement on defiance 1.0 and in 1 vs 1 scenario's just means brutes will be tougher
Good 1v1, Bad for Teams.
+Res Buffs are stupid enough without this change.
Very nice, very nice.

it's not that big of a nerf, I still think they should have toned down defiance.
just make blaster damage cap at 115%, solves so many problems ...

Why?
Blasters are fine and balanced.

I love my blasters in i11
I think those who decry the blaster post I11 forget that was the original concept of the toon. The blaster isn't overpowering in PVP, certainly not in the Arena and in teams there's plenty of compensation.

Errr I think they are overpowering atm 
(reason why I love mine )
Blaster with 1500-1600hp is fun to play 
defiance & mad IO´s just makes the blaster insane fun to play
They are nice right now, my opinion may change along with this 'update'. After this practical unresistable attacks will be pretty much exclusive to villains then. Is everybody ok with that?
I'm still waiting to see how it goes. I wouldn't say villains trump heroes for unresisted damage though.

Also heroes still get unresistible debuffs and this change if it occurs may even make blasters do even more damage then before so its not just a doom and gloom nerf like people are making it out to be

How did you figure it out them making more damage than before? TBH I was afraid of this ever since the talk about new defiance.. As if it was an excuse to nerf them in some other department. 
1v1 will be even more impossible now. And team pvp just plain sucks.
Im not disputing that they didnt need a nerf.. but I cant help but feeling depressed. I see no reason why this would enhance my gaming experience.

The overall damage was increased though, and not everyone has resistances.

But this will make blasters weaker against characters against whom blasters were weakest already.. I saw unresistability as a great method to even up the playing field. Yet people blasters could kill in 5 seconds
before will still die in 5 seconds.

I'd wait and see. I don't think blasters should be able to shred everything else at range anyway.

Die in 5 seconds to what? The only spike damage villain side is melee.

"Blasters irresistible damage in PVP reduced from 33% to 10%"
From the new patch notes on US boards, to be honest, this was needed, blasters damage was a bit to high, makes res debuffs even more important and sonics a necessity
