So is this chance dependent on a positive outcome of the chance elements?
Eg. Vader's basic has 80% chance to do the equation explained above? As in:
0.8*MAX(tenacity-potency, 15%)
No, the 'chance to apply' is a separate check prior to the potency/tenacity check. It does not impact the tenacity or potency numbers themselves. If an ability fails the 'chance to apply' it does not even go through the potency/tenacity check.
Although some abilities have a unique order of operations, most abilities go through the following checks:
A] Is the ability evaded? (Influenced by Foresight, Accuracy, Dodge, etc.)
B] Is the ability applied? (Influenced by %Chance to apply in ability description; if none listed it's usually 100%)
C] Is the ability resisted? (Influenced by potency and tenacity)
If you see the text "can't be evaded", that means skip Check A.
If there is no "XX% chance to..." for the ability then that means skip Check B.
If you see the text "can't be resisted", that means skip Check C.
So you have to multiply the chances. So if you suppose vader landed the hit. He has 0.8*MAX(potency-tenacity,15%) chance to inflict ability block. And against rebels and jedi the chance is 0.8
So EmpressOrgana was correct.
