Mez Resistance inconsistency

Recommended Posts

Looking at my character's combat attributes, I noticed that the Status Effect (or "Mez") Resistance I'm getting from enhancements and sets is less than it says in their description. For example the Unique "Aegis: Psionic/Status Resistance" enhancement is supposed to reduce the duration of status effects by 20% but according to the Combat Attributes window only reduces by 16.67%, same with all other set bonuses.

 

Is this intentional?

It has to do with how Mez resist and all other "reductions" are calculated.  What is actually happening is that you get 20% reduction, which is then calculated as:

 

1 ÷ (1 + 0.2)  = 0.83333...  or in other words a 16.7% overall reduction

 

All other reduction enhancements work the same.  200% recharge reduction is equivalent to 1 ÷ (1+2) = 1/3.
