I don't know if it includes slow resist or not, and can't seem to find out.|

But if it doesn't, you'd rather not have ANY slow resist rather than some?
Come I19, you could look at Temperature protection as a power that can get by with no additional slots, drop a Steadfast res/def or Kismet +tohit into it and save some slots for other powers. With Fitness moving to inherent, and the slot crunch that may accompany it (depending on build), powers that can be taken and left with their default slot could well become very useful.

Mid's has that as a big negative on slow resist. |

After checking the character I have it on in game, I will agree with Mid's.
By slows, you do mean run speed, yes? Or do you mean recharge? Either way, it helps with neither.
It seems that the game classifies those both as debuffs and not statuses, which explains why a status resistance IO does not cover them.
Mid's has it providing 20% to:
Immobilize
Held
Stun
Sleep
Terrorized
Confused
Providing a 16.67% net reduction in total mez time if that is the only mez resistance you have.
(100% mez resistance cuts the duration in half. 200% by 3/4's so on and so forth)
Hope that helps!

It only effects the duration of status effects; slow is a debuff effect.

The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.
