Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
And I read somewhere somewhat recently that it DOES stack but only testing will tell for sure I guess. Ummm so how would someone test that? Does the Power Analyzer give those types of stats while in combat?
Oh I slotted one Damage Proc into Efence. Would dropping say a Dam/End/Rech and slotting in a second Damage Proc make a substantial difference - enough to offset the fact I would be slotting in a Purple damage proc and its associated costs?

AM grants = 36.63% duration
Add Acro = 31.11% duration
On a pvp map
AM grants = 44% duration
Add Acro = 36.7% duration
You aren't taking Acro in addition to AM for the hold resistance, but rather the hold protection so your toggles don't drop as easily. And maybe for the kb protection if you don't want to use IO's in pve and to help you get in excess of 35kb protection in pvp.
You are right that AM no longer hits the applicaple mez resistance cap, but for powers you can come by yourself it is all you need as you would be very hard pressed to tell the difference between AM and AM+acro in game when it comes to mez durations.

what attack chain are you planning on using?
if shriek>scream>shriek>efence then your purple damage proc will go in shriek.
Slot efence like an attack.
ie.
ranged def
3 piece thunder
acc/dam, dam/end, acc/dam/end, deva dam/end, trap hunter proc
do w/e you like with the 6th slot. I recommend a pvp IO dam proc if you can.

The Achilles heel is limited to one per person. Masterminds can get around this by slotting the proc into their pets since each of them will act as a seperate entity.

The Attack Chain Visualizer is not making a whole lot of sense to me. What are each of the categories and how should they be filled in? DS = DPS? ACT = Cast Time? Recharge = Base Recharge Time?
How do you read the output? When I tried it it kept alternating two of my 4 attacks from left to right...

However, this has been tested, and we actually understand the mechanics as well. It does not stack.
The IO's proc grants your target a temporary power that it uses on itself. The temp power is tagged "can have only one" and the self DR debuff is flagged "does not stack from same caster". So the target can only be running one copy of the power, and that power can never stack with itself. Thus, no matter how many different targets apply the effect, it does not self stac.
The PvP -DR proc works the same way, but is considered a different temp power, so the two effects can stack with one another, from the same or different sources.

Massive -Regen for the win when solo. Stacking strong -DR on top of it for bonus points.

I have a rad/rad I could try slotting up on test with -res procs...
One project at a time though but I will put this in the works for next.
Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?
