Resistances help layer your defenses, so that if something gets thru you Def, you have an extra layer of mitigation...hence the popularity of soft capping resist secondaries on melee toons, it makes you tougher. So, Yes, it would help...how much depends on how heavily you've chased resistances in your build, however, it would never hurt to have it.

Currently Playing:
Rage King - SS/Regen Brute (50+3)
Soulfire Darkness - Dark/Fire Tank (50+2)
Deaths Final Embrace - Kat/Dark Brute (50+3)
ULTIMATE REGEN GUIDE I22
Thanks for the response it helped make the decision and possibly make me adjust my build slightly for a little more resist.

You'll be able to buy the PvP IO fairly cheaply next week because of converters. Definitely don't spend the merits on it. (Or, alternately, buy it, craft it, sell it right now, buy it back next week.)

I forgot all about the converters coming out. That might make getting both a little easier and cheaper for my brute. Thanks for the info.

YMMV---IMO

Enhancement converter tokens will be purchasable for various merits (10 reward merits for 1 enhancement converter, for example). When you use a converter on an enhancement, it will transform the enhancement into another one at random (depending on the number of tokens spent, it will be from the same set, the same general type or the same rarity).|

But unless I'm missing something, this shouldn't really lead to much of a price drop. To get a PvP enhancement from enhancement converters, you'd need to start with a PvP enhancement. But if you've already got a PvP enhancement, you paid merits for it that you could have just spent on the enhancement you wanted in the first place.
