It's consistent with other mez protection ally buffs, is it not?
Nope; every other Mez shield is on a 90 second timer. Now, none of them offer the +Res or KB Res that ID does, but they offer other "side benefits" instead (most notably Pain Domination's Enforced Morale). Additionally, ID is the only one saddled with a built-in ally debuff.
I think you pretty much answered your own question. It is possible to get just shy of 40% resistance to energy and smashing. I dont know another power in the game that grants that level of resistance without being a tier 9 in an armor set.
I think you're right, I did answer it myself. That'll teach me to post past my bedtime.
I think it was only designed to be a getoutofdere! power.
Its understandable. I dont think many people realise just how much resistance it can grant.

Well to be fair, it's kinda overshadowed by speed boost and fulcrum shift. It's the hard-working support guy who knuckles down and gets on with it while his glory-hogging collegues get all the attention.

Just curious; what is the reason/line of thought/argument for the incredibly short duration of this buff? It seems somewhat goofy, but I'm sure I'm overlooking some sort of balancing factor, since the power hasn't been tweaked (as far as I know).
