Resist Question

[Kreig]

If a resist is over capped for instance, and then you get debuffed on the over capped resist, does the over capping affect the debuff.

Lets say xxxx resist capped @ 26%, over capped by 5% = 31% total (26% usable). Debuffed by lets say 10%, now would that debuff take resist xxxx to 16% or 21%.
Only because it could be reasoned that once it goes below 26% ur below cap and thus the extra caping would increase it?

Just a thought. Whether or not the engine actually works like that, any ideas.

Don't think it will help you as overcapping should be trash. And it's a very hard hard-cap they have there, really don't think it will affect anything

But haven't tested, so who knows?

 

[Kreig]

Not trying 2 overcap anything on purpose, but was just wondering whilst doing some sc temps. The same question could also be applied to Stat debuffs.

Probley doesnt have any affect (like u say) at all but just curious to see if there could be any other posiabilitys.

Don't think it happens for debuffing, not sure thought.

Another question would be, does it work for resist piercing ect? =o

short version = no

(you can easily try though with using itams on a toon that shud put u in the 50s range of resists. Then ask a cabby to debuff, or a sorc, notice you land on same endresist that you would with 26% baseresist.)
