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.


chance of dot application success = 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 (works vs force choke only)
