being in crit still stuns you and *generally* means you have already lost, oxy res keeps you from getting worse but won't help if whoever's beating on your head with an extinguisher. having oxy res and scraping a win despite being in shallow crit is pretty much as little of a step-up as you can get compared to something like adrenaline rush.
Quote: Also disagree about fire/laser damage being rare.fire damage isn't rare in general, but it is rarely involved in scenarios that you surviving it will matter. BURN weapons are niche and not much better than BRUTE equivalents. you aren't gonna be mad that one of the six dudes you bombed had fire res as you were probably clear of it when it happened anyway.
as for laser, there are only two laser weapons on most stations at round start. one is the captain's and the other is the HoS, which usually is swapped for Lawbringer, whose lethal is kinetic.
