Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.

Regardless:
All of the Interface effects, with the possible exception of the -ToHit in Diamagnetic, are extremely underpowered compared to the DoT in Reactive.
And the devs wonder why people treat Reactive as being the 'only' Interface slot.
Gravitic, Paralytic and the -Regen and -Resistance aspects of Diamagnetic and Reactive should really be brought up to allow them to compete.
For that matter, the Interface slot itself and how it stacks for one player and how it stacks in a team/league could stand to be revisited as well.

i'll /sign this. Mostly because I grabbed Interface and am going core path on my katana/scrapper (not that it matters much in the long run since my self-imposed challenge is to get a tier four on all Interface and branches), who is in desperate need of lowering the resistances of enemies he fights given how stupidly common and highly resisted lethal is. (Though, maybe I can't say too much since he does also have achilles heel procs, which if I understand right, are technically irresistable in their debuff because it works on a grant-power. Right?)

No. You may have heard that the Achilles proc is not affected by the purple patch. That may be the case, since it does work as a grant power like Bruising (which also ignores the purple patch), but I don't know for sure either way.|

But that is not the same as being an unresisted Resistance debuff, which I'm pretty sure it is not.

I am so far unimpressed with my tier 3 Gravitic, but I have a feeling the tier 3s with 3 debuffs are severely underpowered, whereas the tier 4 may be OK. Both of Paralytics effects are underwhelming, although the damage debuff is not terrible.

 ).The same thing applies to -Damage debuffs; they're unresisted by AVs, unless the AV has damage resistance to its own damage type. For instance, if you hit an Enraged Marauder with a damage debuff, he'd be unaffected because he has 100% resistance to Smash/Lethal damage, and (AFAIK) all of his attacks deal Smashing damage. Call it a quirk of the system. On a related note, if you could slot damage enhancements in resistance powers, then you'd get 33% (schedule A) enhancement instead of the normal 20% (Schedule B) for a resistance enhancement. It's for that reason that Enzyme HOs can buff your defense powers by 33%. They're typed as DEF debuff enhancements, but the system doesn't recognize debuffs as separate and distinct from buffs. They both modify the same attribute. TL;DR: Damage and Resistance debuffs are the only widespread exceptions to AVs' absurdly high debuff resistance (85% at level 50). |
If you're fighting an AV, the DoT is the better bet.
If you're fighting a GM and have no other source for it, I would rather have the -regen (I believe you can hit -60% with it)
See, it's gems like these that make me check Claws' post history every once in a while to make sure I haven't missed anything good lately.
