Is potency over 100% pointless?

Only against specific characters such as CLS who can have massive tenacity is that much potency worthwhile.

And bounty hunters!

This... The more potency, the more health pool boba lead... Which helped to finish mod challenge... (hoth hans healing made much easier though)

@Kyno could you explain this

"tenacity - potency = chance to resist"

Do you mean minus or vs

I thought it was

If potency is greater then tenacity
Debuff will always land except there is always 15% base chance to resist.

And then if tenacity is higher then potency
of attacker has 0% chance to land a debuff

Is this wrong?

Yes, it's incorrect.

Tenacity minus potency equals resist chance(can not be lower the 15%)

So Yoda has a 75% tenacity, while FOTP has 50% potency, Yoda has a 25% chance to resists debuffs from FOTP.

Absolutely not. Over 100% potency is preferable to debuff reliant characters. In the end your adjusted potency after calculations will always be lower than 100%

If you can be over 100% over their tenacity that would be even better, but that’s realistically impossible. 115% potency is 100% debuff land rate after the first roll if the enemy has 0 tenacity.

Go up as the enemies tenacity goes up.

There is always a 15% chance to resist. so going up to 100% is a waste unless you are facing a toon with 85% tenacity, which is rare outside of raids. unless a skill says "cannot be resisted" there is no 100% land rate.

There is always 15% chance to resist no matter what

I had time when my Palp had more than 100% potency. When he was a leader he couldnt stun anyone. Even Rebels. I had to lower his potency and the same fights were with stuns. I have no idea what to think about this case. Potency was to high?

Difference in level between the two opponents also has effect.

Can you provide a citation for this? This is very interesting news for me if true!

No. No matter how high your potency is, enemies ALWAYS have 15% resist chance (unless an ability specifically says it's unresistable like Thrawn's fracture.) You just got really unlucky.

Unless you're Tarkin, yes
