Surveillance from MM Epic Pool

Does anyone have any experience with it? Does it turn you into a mini rad or is it skippable?

MIDS to the rescue! 14% defense and 14% resistance debuff, both for 20s. Definitely softens targets, but I don't know about mini-rad status.

It works good. A resit debuff is sort of a dam boost. Right?

I often take it on my planned blaster builds... And later find out that, with my blasters, I prefer just blasting things away instead of remembering to click a smallish debuff every 20s, so I remove it...

For personal, individual damage, I figure the extra attack I use the animation time for, plus the extra defiance boost from it, probably means I'm not loosing much damage by not using the 14% debuff...

In large teams/leagues, against tough targets, it might make a difference but those teams often already have strong debuffers that will probably trivialize my lil 14% -res (especially after resistances are taken in consideration)...

So I guess it comes to personal preference: if you want to take it, it's not a bad power at all, but if you don't and prefer just laying down the hurt with your blaster like I do, IMHO you definitelly won't gimp yourself by not taking it even if you go MM...

It's the kind of thing that really only has a chance to shine on a TF or Trial where you fight single very tough opponents. Of course if you JUST wanted a Blaster for TFs and AV debuffing, you'd roll a Sonic/Mental/MM. Stack all those -resists and kill the AV's regeneration. It's actually not that bad of a build since Mental brings two more AoEs to the table and Sonic has terrible AoE.
