-mind wipe lowers mental resistance (well, the stats that help it but i think the goal is to make people more susceptable to mental attacks).

-to accomplish this, you need to overcome the mental resistance of the attacker

-if you can overcome the mental resistance of the attacker, why do you need to mind wipe?

Maybe it's designed for like, psionic gang-bangs. One psion lowers the resistance, and the smaller ones can jump in and help.

possible, but then again (at least for me) i'd probably just blind/paralyze/etc the guy instead of lower his resist so someone else can.

Psionics, at least currently, seem more of a solo profession than group-based. Apart from Wards and Mass Levitation, our psionics(currently) only have effect on ourselves...unless we attack. Wink

Well, there's a couple things. Firstly, some powers do more damage, are more effective, etc based on the margin of failed resistance of the defender. Certainly a lowered resist would help versus targets you can hit but could fail to hit on a poor random roll.

That said, the power could also be augmented to be slightly easier to land than most psi attacks, too.
