it helps a decent amount, nothing super effective, but there is a noticeable difference
on my lvl 50 ice/stone tank without bruising seismic smash hits for about 192 dmg, with bruising i hit for around 232, which is 40 dmg difference

resistance debuffs are resisted by resistance, so how much the -resist does is based on the enemies resistances
it is not affected by the purple patch or lvl differences since it is granting the target a power
it helps a bit, but since its limited to 1 application it can only do so much at -20% resist, on teams though it helps because since its applying a powr to the enemies everyone does more dmg

Against someone with no resistance...bruising will apply -20% resistance...
...but against someone with 30% resistance...bruising will apply less than the -20%...?

Yes. However, you'll still be doing 20% more damage to him.|

Against someone with no resistance, you'll apply a 20% resistance debuff to him. Against someone with 30% resistance, you'll apply a (20*.7 = 14) 14% resistance debuff to them.
However, you're STILL doing 20% more damage to this target. For instance, let's say you have an attack that does 100 damage. If the enemy has 0% resistance, your attack with bruising in effect will do 120 damage, or 20% more.
Now, if the enemy has 30% resistance, then your attack would normally do 70 damage. With bruising in effect, the enemy has 14% resistance debuff, and so his resistance is now only 16%. So your attack would do 84 damage. That's 14 more damage from 70, which is a 20% increase in damage.

Do you feel that this makes soloing tolerable?
How much does it "help"?
