Thaw getting the same treatment as ID

Yes to the Cold Resistance, I guess, but no to the Slow Resistance. Slow Resistance is a counter-mez effect, much like the knockback protection in ID, which did not get the AoE treatment.
Poison's Antidote has similar resistances as well, IIRC, and could stand to be changed if necessary.

I did forget about /poison adding toxic resistance. I know its a small amount, but hey, it does add up, and can really benefit in the long run with proper slotting (my demon/thermal's Thaw actually provides 11.9% cold resistance, which is a pretty decent amount)
Yes to the AoE for ALL the support set mez resist powers that grant damage resistance.
@Oathbound & @Oathbound Too
Basically what the title says.
Increased Density from /kinetics got the AoE treatment, due to the resistance that it offers (which according to mids is about 18.8 smashing and energy for a corruptor/controller, 25% for a defender) for 60 seconds
Why didn't thaw get the same treatment as it offers 80% resistance to slow (both movement and recharge) and 7.5% cold resistance for 90 seconds.
My suggestion is to make thaw into an AoE like power like Increased Density is, but only allowing the slow resistance, and cold resistance to apply to the AoE, leaving the mez protection alone.
what do ya think?
