How does potency and tenacity work?

Question

I've always assumed the calculation was around:

Attacker potency - defender tenacity +- some randomizer.

This seems to be very very wrong. I did a fight a few times and it seemed odd. My character with 70% tenacity got stunned by a character with 30% potency 4 times in a row without fail. This has happened far too often. I am very frustrated because it feels like I'm missing something and I can't predict how battles can go. Can anyone shed light on the issue. Am I just unlucky, or am I about to learn something new!

PS: yes I'm salty. :|

Defender has 50 tenacity. You have 5 potency = Defender has 45% chance to resist.
You have 10 potency, defender has 40% chance to resist etc.
until you get to 35 potency, when the defender has a 15% chance to resist any more potency past that is useless against THAT target, because they can't have a lower resist chance than 15%
So if you have 50% potency, they still have a 15% chance to resist. Or if you have 100% potency, or 100000% (Mind you, this has NOTHING to do with the trigger chance on effects, either)

It gives you just your probabilityof resisting the debuff.
