Theoretically, if you could get heal (Golgi), to-hit/defense (cyto/membrane/enzyme/lyso), mez (endo), or runspeed/flyspeed (microfilament) enhancements into Benumb, it should improve Benumb's various power drain (de-enhancement) abilities.
In practice, I have yet to confirm this. But remember, there is a reason Castle hates this power, and I think this is it.
I was afraid it might be as boring slotting option-wise as the kin powers. . . 
According to Mids, it will take darned near all the HOs. I wonder what might be a good way to test HO slotting in it, Power Analyzer temp power might work, but what kind of foe would have something you can test easily with that? Any critter available heroside that runs some kind of shields regularly?
controlled arena matches with a test subject are probably your only option for testing something like that.

Carnies all have psi defense. Power analyze 'em, see if you can wipe that defense out completely, or if there's no difference from unslotted Benumb.

castle hates this power, and power boost, because of the +/- special effect. im not entirely sure why (probably has something to do with how its coded)

Positron's i13 letter: We are trying to make PvP more accessible to new players, while giving experienced PvP'ers the advantage that comes with formulating tactics around the new systems we're putting in place. PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.
Hi all, I was wondering if putting Membrane HOs into Benumb accomplished anything, as I know some HOs apply effects to powers you can't get in other ways. In this case in addition to the Recharge you want in Benumb it has enhancement of Defense and Tohit, which might apply in reverse, much as Defense Debuff in Enzyme can apply in reverse to provide Defense in a power. Benumbs mechanics are odd enough though that I wasn't sure if it would actually do anything to the "special" debuff.
