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 application failure = ( ( resistance / dot potency ) / 1.75 ) x 100 Resistance: Sum total of all stackable 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 Dot Potency Sources Include Weapons Disease & Poison Packs Creature Abilities Skills Source References Source Source in Context
