1+2 No such thing as a -res buff sadly.
As one of my mains is Sonic/En I'd love for Power Boost to affect -Res. But unfortunately, as said, there's no way to boost -Res powers to my knowledge. It is handy for boosting your stuns, sleeps and heals (if you took Medicine Pool as I did) but that's it.

So what is
"-13.00% resistance to all damage for 5.00s on target
Ignores buffs and enhancements"
What is the -resistance? Part of the attack, I guess, but not a secondary effect? What is it? Does it actually work?

You can´t buff -res.
You can however stack it from different sources and in sonics case you can stack with any blast.

Secondary effect of sonic. On the enemies.
Lowers their resistance by 13% when you hit.
Ahh well, thanks for answering. I guess I'll make an Assault Rifle/Energy Blapper, instead. Having said that, If I'm going to make a blapper, sonic might be good for softening the up.

This is extremely true. 
Having both a Sonic/En and an AR/En, I can say that I enjoy the former more. The AR is team friendly (Boost Range + Full Auto + Flamethrower is very nice 
) whereas the Sonic solos a lot, lot better due to the soft controls. I keep meaning to finish my Sonic/En guide sometime soon.

I was considering making a Sonic/Energy Blaster purely for the reason that Power Boost should enhance the Damage Resistance Debuff secondary effect of most of Sonic's powers.
HOWEVER, on character creation I was reading Power Boost's effects and it says nothing about this.
Most powers in the Sonic Primary say:
-13.00% resistance to all damage for [varies]s on target Ignores buffs and enhancements
Question 1. Does this ignorance apply to Power Boost, too?
Here is what Power Boost does:
+52.80% strength to stun for 15.00s on self unresistable
+52.80% strength to sleep for 15.00s on self unresistable
+52.80% strength to confuse for 15.00s on self unresistable
+52.80% strength to terrorize for 15.00s on self unresistable
+52.80% strength to immobilize for 15.00s on self unresistable
+52.80% strength to hold for 15.00s on self unresistable
+52.80% strength to run speed for 15.00s on self unresistable
+52.80% strength to fly speed for 15.00s on self unresistable
+52.80% strength to defense for 15.00s on self unresistable
+52.80% strength to all defense for 15.00s on self unresistable
+52.80% strength to healing for 15.00s on self unresistable
+52.80% strength to tohit for 15.00s on self unresistable
+52.80% strength to endurance for 15.00s on self unresistable
There is no mention of Damage Resistance being debuffed.
Question 2. Is this an oversight by the devs, or is Sonic really not meant to be used with Energy as a secondary, because that would be overpowered?
[eidt] Question 3. Which Primary powers debuff Defence as a secondary?
