Tankshock Posted August 16 Posted August 16 Is it true that 100% Resistance works vs debuff, fully negating it? If so, how does Type matter?
MTeague Posted August 16 Posted August 16 Even tanks and brutes have resistance capped at 90%, no matter how many set bonuses they have, so I don't believe 100% is ever going to be acheiveable. That said, yes, your resistance to resistance debuff, is your resistance. So if you have 90% resistance to Smashing/Lethal, but only 40% resistance to negative energy, your smashing/lethal resistance won't move hardly at all, but your negative energy resistance will be impacted much more strongly. 1 .
MonteCarla Posted August 16 Posted August 16 I'm not 100% sure, but I think the cap only applies to how much damage you take, rather than your resistance to debuffs. So if you build up 100% Smashing Resistance, say, then you'll still have 90% effective resistance to damage on a Tank/Brute, but you can't be debuffed at all. 1 1 1 The Badass Empath Guide Modern Force Fields Guide The Rich Alt's Guide to Perma-Dom Resistances for Brutes Proc Bombing for Defenders
Tankshock Posted August 16 Author Posted August 16 I've seen the claim that Res is capped at 90, but not debuff Res 1

Unresistable resistance debuffs exist and those *will* lower your resistance, even if you have > 100% resistance. 3 What this team needs is more Defenders

Snarky Posted August 16 Posted August 16 (edited) You can get resistance to 100%. It caps (for purposes of resisting that damage type) at 90% on Tank/Brutes. It does not cap for Resistance Debuff Resistance. So a value of 100 will resist ALL resistance debuffs. (This was discussed much during early Aeon days). As was mentioned there are a very few, tiny, minuscule number of mobs out there with UNRESISTABLE resistance debuff. Including at least one LB Warden. Rarely encountered. They exist. Life sucks. Move on. This is per damage type, just exactly like the resistance is per damage type. GL have fun Edited August 16 by Snarky 1
