Is it worth slotting Damage Res in Enchant Demon now? Or Healing in Abyssal Empowerment?

Yes.
 

Quote

• Enchant Demons

  • Now takes Resistance enhancement and Sets

  • No longer has a recharge time

  • No longer grants Abyssal Mending to the Ember Demon

  • Resist enhancements in this power should improve Ember Demon's Ember Shield

• Abyssal Empowerment

  • Now takes Healing Enhancements and Sets

  • No longer has a recharge time

  • Now grants Abyssal Mending to the Ember Demon

  • Healing enhancements in this power should improve Ember Demon's Abyssal Mending and Abyssal Reconstruction

You'll have to weigh the additional enhancement slot investment up against other things... but I think it's fair to say that having to cram fewer non-damage-output-related IOs (like Heal and Resistance sets) into the summoning powers is a good thing. 

Worst case, you can just throw your Unbreakable Guard and Preventive Medicine Globals into the base slots.

For better or worse, I put a steadfast knockback protection into enchant undead for a new necro / storm MM. Three pieces of the unbreakable guard set (including the global) go into an armor instead.

 

Since that MM is still leveling, I've put the full overwhelming force set into zombies so pets have somewhat more than 1 knockback protection from a set bonus; ruin mages are a little less ruinous when their earthquakes don't make all the pets keep falling over. I'll put 3 pieces of the gladiator PvP resistance set into an armor at level 47 or later and replace the overwhelming force set in the zombies after my new necro / storm MM reaches level 50.

I already respeced, but I think it was just end rdx in there since it didn't take any sets.

Thanks! I did end up slotting a Res set in enchant demon and it added about 5%ish res to ember demon's aura. Seems pretty worth it. Also, like you said it is always nice to have the base slots available for IO mule now.
