More than 100% tenacity?

I see that some people add all tenacity mods to Malak and Nest, giving more than 100% tenacity. Is this overkill? How is this advantageous?

    Not in this context, no.
  • If I have 100% tenacity, and my opponent has 70% potency then I only have a 30% chance to resist. Potency negates tenacity.

    However, if I have 170% tenacity and my opponent has 70% potency then I have a 100% chance to resist.
  • In order for you to have a 100% resist rate, you have to double their potency. For example, 150% tenacity only has a 30% chance to resist someone with 120% potency. This chance can not be any lower than 15% to resist. This is built in by design so someone who has 2000% potency has an 85% chance to land a debuff. Hope that makes sense to you.

    If you have 50% potency and I have double that (100% tenacity) I only have a 50% chance to resist. I need 150% tenacity to get guaranteed resists. I need to have 100% plus whatever your potency is.

    Yeah, I get it now. It gets confusing because potency and tenacity are expressed as percentages, but they really aren't until after the potency/tenacity check has been made.
