tenacity vs potency
When attempting to apply a debuff, is it a check of potency VS tenacity, or is there a tenacity check, and if it passes, the potency check is redundant?

Crazylazyguy, what I was thinking was that it first does a success check (like your resistance trooper example). Then upon success of that, does a potency check for the attacker to see if he applies the debuff, then upon success of that, does a tenacity check to see if it is resisted. And the tenacity check trumps all. I was pretty sure it worked more like kyno said, but I'm having almost no luck with my Palpatine lead stunning people. Before going into the battle he has 103% potency. With his leadership ability, should be 133%. And I know it only has 70% to hit, but I've been looking at my arena opponents tenacity before I go in, and with no tenacity mods on anyone, I'm LUCKY if I get 2/5 stunned. And if I'm against a Palpatine (not even as leader), I routinely get 4-5 of mine stunned. Very frustrating. But it is what it is I guess. Thanks for the answers
