Ok, i'm a bit confused about tenacity/potency interaction. 3 days ago CG_Kozispoon (dev team) wrote this:"Defender's chance to resist = Defender's Tenacity.Attacker's Potency, minimum 15%.If you have 30% tenacity and somebody hits you with 15% potency, you have a 15% chance to resist. You'd also have a 15% chance to resist if they had 50% potency, or 50000%."https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/57672/clarification-on-tenacity-potencyProbably my IQ is too low, but if this is true, potency doesn't matter but only tenacity.

If you have 100% tenacity and the attacker has 0% potency you'd have a 85% chance to resist. you will always have a minimum of 15% chance to resist and to hit. everything between 15% and 85% is determined by the difference between potency and tenacity of the characters involved.atleast, that is what i think @CG_Kozispoon said.So if someone hit you with 40%potency and you have mod, which makes your tenacity 42%, the chance to resist is 17%? If that's what you're saying, tenacity mods are useless - you'll have 15% chance even without this mod.

15% potency attacking a 30% tenacity = 15% chance to resist. 100% potency attacking a 30% tenacity = 15% chance to resist.That leads me to conclude that you need atleast a difference of 15% in order to have a higher chance to resist than without tenacity (0%) But doesnt it seem odd that a debuff has 85% chance to land even if the defending toon has 15% more tenacity than the attacker has potency ?

atleast, that is what i think @CG_Kozispoon said.

So if someone hit you with 40%potency and you have mod, which makes your tenacity 42%, the chance to resist is 17%? If that's what you're saying, tenacity mods are useless - you'll have 15% chance even without this mod.

So Tenacity has to be greater than 15% over their Potency to do anything...kinda weak.

And if by chance it's 90% more, you're wasting 5%.

Okay, I get it.

doesnt it seem very odd to you ?

@StormTro0p3R_H Man, can't understand your logic. Is there some?

Every thing is based on chance, RNG.

The rate listed in the ability, 80% stun, is before looking at tenacity and potency

If RNG roll processes the stun. Than potency and tenacity is compared and in some magical formula with rng it is determined if it is applied or resisted.

More potency better chance of applying
I have Teebo Potency at 86% and Rancor resists less but still resists.

More tenacity better chance of resisting
I have my Sun Fac Tenacity at 82% and RG stun is resisted more than it is applied.

Potency and Tenacity is not really "wasted" the higher the number the better chance to apply or resist.

Yeah, but we need the exact formula of scaling tenacity vs potency. We need to know is it worth to go after tenacity sets for example. Because if huge tenacity numbers increase only abit chances for resist, slots can be used for better mods.

My question is does this fact favor resist or debuff? Are strong debuffers going to become more prevalent with people not wasting slots on tenacity? Or does the 15% resist still stop Tarkin seeing the light of day?
