DS vs. Mercs (-RES)

Was wanting to maximize -RES.



With DS, I'd get 2 pets and 3 primary attacks that would facilitate it consistently (without slotting) = 8 guaranteed applications of -RES

Mersc; (with slotting; Achille's Heel proc) I can inconsistently apply -Res through all 6 pets and 1 primary attack = 17 'chances' at -RES application


I haven't taking into account attack chains and cycling (speed of), durations, magnitudes, stacking (where applicable), ST vs. AoE, etc...



Anybody already have this figured out? Or can lend a hand?

Thank you in advance.


Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars

you cant stack the schilles proc, so it would do that much -resist, with more chances you could keep it applied more consistently, but it cannot stack

demons -resist CAN stack as far as im aware

You can if it comes from different sources, i.e. your pets.

No you can't. The Achilles' Heel proc does actually apply a debuff effect. It grants a temp power to anything it hits and that temp power debuffs them. Because it works as a grantpower effect, you can't have an enemy with multiple copies of the same effect.

Good to know. I was thinking of giving my Spec Ops one in order to add more of the effect. I think you just saved me 20 million Inf.
