It gets easier to stack the higher up you go, I believe the limit is -25% damage resistance oh, to be fair I'd recommend going the 50% chance of dam res, 25% chance of fire Dot.
The Fire DoT actually really adds a lot to damage.
If you're lethal only, you won't get much benefit out of it. Higher tiers only add a fire DOT to it.
I stack it with Poisonous Ray and deal psi and toxic damage -- so for me, it's awesome.

Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!

Well, combined with the Achilles heel proc I have in 80% of my attacks, that should do very nicely, and i'll keep that advice in mind.|

It also stacks up faster and better if you have a damage aura. I think most people take that interface for the DOT as much (if not more than) for the debuff.
I crafted it up to t3 today. I already have Grav t4, but want some variety.

I see, and I know what you mean about the variety, I have this morbid, masochistic goal of planning to craft all the Interface choices, or at least get one of each tier four branch. Since my character and his daughter are super blacksmiths, it would make sense for him to keep a bunch of different swords on hand.|

On another note, I'd like to ask if anyone knows specific mechanics to the procs of Interface. Is it similar to Achilles heel where it technically is a 'grant power', which also technically makes them irresistable?

Does in work with your Pet powers too, or just your personal attacks?

Lethal is not the most highly resisted damage type, or even the most highly resisted damage type. Psi has that distinction, as anything that's dead, undead or robotic (save the Primal Clockwork) is resistant to it, and resistant by a LOT, not to mention anything which is psychic in nature. And in the IDF, you have lots of robots and lots of psychics.|

Psi Blast for Blasters has the benefit of fairly heavy damage to fight resistance by sheer brute force, as well as a select few attacks that deal physical damage, as well, but fighting a great many of the game's adversaries with Psi is a SORRY experience, far more so than using Katana or Broadsword, though probably on the same level as Assault Rifle.

Between the DoT and the -resist, this power you're calling tragically laughable is one of the top tier powers released in Issue 20. Is it as flashy as Judgment? No. But it's adding that damage constantly, consistently.
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?
Arc Name: Tsoo In Love
Arc ID: 413575
So, I unlocked my Interface today, crafted and slotted my first and then upgraded to the second tier along the core path of Reactive, to say the least, I was giddy since I was playing my lethal-only-damage dealing katana scrapper, which many know is the most highly resisted damage type out there as well as most highly resisted.
Anyway though, So I decided to break out a Mark III Power analyzer to see just how much I debuff my target's resistances.
After mashing buttons and keeping a close eye on my target's resistance attribute I found out I was debuffing my foe's resistance for an awesome 2.5%!!!!
Wait, what?
