Game Mechanics Dot application chance is based on a comparison of resistance values of the defending target versus the potency value of the attacker. Resistance values of the target do not stack. Each source of resistance that a defending target has makes its own separate roll against the potency value of the attacker, meaning that if a player has resistance skill attachments and a resistance buff, these would be two seperate rolls made against the potency value to determine if the dot would stick. Dot application success and resist rate is always at least 5%. If the dot application success is ever calculated to be higher than 95% or lower than 5% then the application chance is defaulted to 5%. Players have at least a 5% chance to resist any dot no matter what. chance of dot application success = 100 x ( 1 - ( ( resistance / dot potency ) / 1.75 ) ) Resistance: Resistance sources Dot Potency: Potency value on a weapon, creature ability, skill, disease pack, and poison pack Resistance Sources include: Skill Attachments Food & Drink Resistance Buffs Force Resist Poison Force Resist Disease Force Resist Bleeding Force Defense Skill Modifier (works vs force choke only) Dot Potency Sources Include Weapons Disease & Poison Packs Creature Abilities Skills Source References Source Source in Context
