Game Mechanics

Dot defenses are a roll against the potency attribute of a dot attack to see if a dot is applied. Each dot ability or item then has an inherent chance to succeed upon a successful roll. Currently all these defenses have a 95% cap. In other words, no matter how high your dot defenses there is always a 5% chance that a succesful dot attempt will be applied. When a successful dot attempt is made, there is then a percent chance based on the skill for it to work. For example Combat Medic Disease Pack with 200 potency has percentage chance to Disease should the attack pass the target's disease resistance modifier check.

Note: There is no known formula for calculating any aspect of dot defense.

To complicate matters a bit, dot resists also go through a tier process in which certain sources of dot defenses will not stack with other forms. Each source of resist makes a separate check .
