Just found one, and saw that they're going for more than I expected at WW...I certainly can see they're gems for PvP, but has anyone gotten any benefit as a squishy in PvE?

Just wonderin', thanks for yer time

If, with that global, you build up 100% mez resistance, you'll have mezes lasting half as long.

Myself, I wouldn't bother.

Yes and no.

The big problem is that on the Hero Side, only Scrappers, Tanks, Kheldian Dwarfs, Force Fields, and Sonic's get native protections to mez effects, and only Scrappers, Tanks, and Kheldian Dwarfs get mez resistances.

As a blaster then, you have no native protection to mez effects, and thus bear the full brunt of any and all mez effects launched in your direction. Also, no matter what you do with IO's, you'll never be able to build up a significant amount of mez resistance... So, if you are fighting something that's mezzing you, chances are you'll actually defeat it with your three primary attacks before the normal mezzing effect would wear off.

So no, slotting for mez resistance won't do a whole lot for a blaster.

However, if you are the kind of player who must absolutely maximize every bit of DPA possible, then mez resistance might bring you out of your mezzed state a few seconds quicker.
