At the same time, however, I am well aware of the sources of Disruption in-game, and for those that are less-so aware of the more esoteric enemies that can afflict it (looking at you, Cronley/Shattered Cronley), I can see why wanting to crutch on the mitigation the resistance offers can be appealing.
Off-topic, lol @ ml’s ban. Before anyone accuses me of it, I didn’t report him or anything else in this thread. The things I miss when I sleep in!
