Ability: Destabilizing Resonance Beam

Overview

Destabilizing Resonance Beam is a continuously focused AoE damage and debuff skill that applies damage, a stacking resistance debuff and a stacking energy weapons damage debuff to enemies around your target. This is a channeling ability, meaning it must be focused and maintained on the target to achieve its full effect. It's similar to Tachyon Beam in this respect; another channeling ability.

Basic Information

• Profession: Science
• Locale: Space
• Game Description: Resonance Destabilization Beam focuses a sympathetic resonance at the target, causing an unstable reaction within the ship's hull and weapons. The resonance then pulses from the target, damaging it and nearby enemy ships. Each pulse causes affected ships to lose damage resistance and deal less damage as they are weakened.
