−	A second function of Dot Defenses are to reduce the amount of damage done and the duration of certain types of Dot effects through an absorption process. This appears to work by reducing the initial damage of the attack by the percentage of resistance on the player. For certain abilities like the force resists, there is an added benefit in that these abilities also reduce the duration of the dot by a given percentage. Most abilities and skill modifiers (with the exception of fire resistance) do not have innate absorption associated with their defense checks.	+	A second function of Dot Defenses are to reduce the amount of damage done and the duration of certain types of Dot effects through an absorption process. This appears to work by reducing the initial damage of the attack by the percentage of resistance on the player. In the case of fire resistance versus commando attacks, the resists check against the initial damage done to the target, reduce that, and as a result, each subsequent dot tick is lowered since fire dots are based off of the initial tick done by the attack. Against other forms of fire dots (weapon based or bounty hunter skill) the dot tick itself is reduced by the given percentage of player fire resistance. For certain abilities like the force resists, there is an added benefit in that these abilities also reduce the duration of the dot by a given percentage. Most abilities and skill modifiers (with the exception of fire resistance) do not have innate absorption associated with their defense checks.

 The defense vs. {state} skill mods are probably percentage based.  So a 100% defense vs. stun would be the real limit: you never get stunned.  However, it's also possible (but I've never seen it confirmed one way or the other) that different stun or KD attacks have different chances of sticking.  You see this already with the potency stat on CM poisons/diseases: higher potency has a better chance of sticking.  If that's the case, it might be along the lines of this:
-ChanceOfState = ( AttackStatePotency - DefenseVsState ) / 100;
+ChanceOfState = ( AttackStatePotency - DefenseVsState ) / 100;<br>
-StateRoll = random(0,1);

	Note: There is no known formula for calculating any aspect of dot defense. What is known however is that if a dot resist modifier meets a same level potency stat from the applying dot ability or item, then the dot will have a 50% chance of being resisted or being applied.
