Yesterday I play my resistance team on HAAT p2. I change my mods in RP and set up him 105% potency. My Finn have as I remember 60%.What was weird that Finn put expose on tank about 90% time. RP put expose status in about 60% time. I have a feeling that that this potency mods are rubbish. Do have anybody have the same feelings ?

RP has a 65% chance to expose, then the potency check happens. Finn, on the other hand, has a 100% chance to expose, then the potency check happens. Potency is definitely needed against raid bosses (unless tenacity down is there).

Okay, but when my RP is 104%, he should add this expose mark more than often correct ?.

There are 2 checks it needs to pass through:1- will that toon expose (RP - 65%) (Finn - 100%)2- tenacity/potency check (RP - 104%) (Finn - 60%,or whatever it is)These 2 systems have no effect on each other. 104% potency doesn't mean your chance to expose goes up. 104%potency means you are guaranteed to give your opponent the minimum (15%) chance to resist in the second check point, but you still need to pass the first check, first.

In LOTRO we would have players complaining that they had 80% crit chance on crafting then complain when they only crit twice in 100 craft sessions.

Potency - there is something wrong with that

I've had this same question. This actually clears it up. I'll never buy another potency mod again. They seem like a HUGE waste of time now, if there's always a 15% chance regardless. That's a **** rule to have in the game.

It's not a waste at all if you know how to apply them to the correct toons. Now tenacity, that's a stat that I never recommend to invest in

Potency is very important still. Just that you need less of it in arena battles. Like 15% less then enemy tenacity. Raid toons need heaps of potency.

Does anybody know if 15% is a min or addition? Which is the right formula?

chance to resist = Max(Tenacity, 15) - Potency?
chance to resist = Tenacity + 15 - Potency?

It is a minimum.
Tenacity - potency = chance to resist (cannot go below 15%)

30 (t) - 15 (p) = 15% chance to resist
30 (t) - 104 (p) = 15% chance to resist

According to this code mine:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/597p32/code_mined_chance_to_resist_negative_effects/

It is more Max(ten-pot, 0) + 15%

Yet even with a free 15% boost tenacity still sucks.

Potency is irrelevant because the other team will dodge forever.
