What resists -Damage debuffs?

[kelly Rocket]

Anyone happen to know?

 

Curious because I have a Time/Dual Pistols Defender, and Dual Pistols has quite a bit of -Damage debuff on it when using Chemical Ammo, and I'm wondering how commonly mobs actually resist that.

 

Tried to find it on the wiki, but it was very unclear.

Well for starters every level above you the mob is, they resist it naturally.

So if the mob is +2 to you, your debuffs will function at 80% efficiency.  30% at +5

 

 

AVs don't seem to have special resistance for -DMG, but I could be wrong.

Yes, and I posted the build in your thread too. But I created the character before that thread was a thing 😉

Damage resistance. If you apply a -10% damage debuff to an enemy with 30% lethal resist, their lethal attacks will do 7% less damage.

 

 

NPCs tend to resist the damage types they deal, so -damage very often is partially resisted.

I know, I know.  Still, it feels sometimes like it's "my fault" that the powerset combination is as ... popular(?) ... as it seems to have become (at least here on the forums).

Thanks, good to know. The wiki was very unclear on this. It sort of implied that, but I wasn't sure.
