Achilles Heel -Res Proc

I have an earth/thorn dom that I'm working on mostly for the -def synergy that it has, and I really enjoyed my spines scrapper. Just curious how this proc works. I know it can be slotted in multiple powers, but not sure how it's beneficial. Does the -20% resist actually stack with multiple procs or is it just giving the proc a greater chance to actually hit?

I love the ones I have in. I always put it in sleet. Just starting a Earth/Fire that I will bring up on Double XP Weekend . I will let you know how it does. I will slot them early.

Unfortunately it no longer stacks even if it's from various sources.

So basically its a waste to slot more than one? I plan on picking up sleet from the ice app so I can always slot it there later. Only reason I'm asking is I'm trying to come up with a build, and it will change some of my slotting choices.

It is not a waste. Remember that it only has a chance to fire, it is not a guarantee. And it has a short duration. I like to have it in multiple powers to keep it going on hard targets for longer and on even the soft ones, to maximize the number of times that it is up.

If you have the funds, it will stack with the PVP -Res.

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

I think you'd get more milage out of it in something like Fling Thorns, simply because of recharges you'll probably have a better chance of affecting more people with it.

Or Sleet and Fling Thorns, that'd work too, they wouldn't stack but they'd have more of a chance of affecting your enemies.
