More than 100% tenacity?

Laz

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?

Whenever an attacker tries to inflict a debuff, the defender has a “tenacity - potency” % chance to resist, with a minimum value of 15%.

So, the higher the better.

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.

What.

Not double, need 100% more

Not in this context, no.

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.
