How is debuff resisting calculated?
I've been struggling a lot against Hound Tooth's in fleet arena recently(who hasn't) and I'm finally going to ask the question that I've had for awhile. How is landing a debuff calculated? I know pote...

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.
Ah, okay. I read it differently, but yes, this is the right idea if you are trying to compute the overall 'chance that the debuff succeeds' since these are sequential events. The original equation is still a bit off because A is asking is it evaded (and we would want is it NOT evaded) and C is asking is it resisted (and we would want is it NOT resisted).
Assuming all these must be between 0 and 100%.
E = Chance to Evade (%)
A = Chance to Apply (%)
R = Chance to Resist (%) = MAX(tenacity-potency, 15%)
Chance Debuff Succeeds: (1 - E)*(A)*(1-R)
So given the Darth Vader example. His basic can't be evaded or resisted by Rebels and Jedi, so it would just be a flat 80% chance for success against these types of enemy. (Skip evasion and resist checks)
If he was attacking a non-rebel/jedi, then let's say there is a 2% chance to evade (standard dodge chance), 80% chance to apply, and his potency is most likely high enough it will default to the 15% chance to resist. So (1-.02)*(.80)*(1-.15) = 66.64% chance to apply the ability block.
