What is the point in doing the max if you don't compare with the normal ones? And if you would like to know, i'm waiting for my crafter to come online and i'll ask him to do some fully experimented on potency.

Texxie: They will do full effect on their packs. It shouldn't be so that we nd to experiment totally on pot to just get a hit, it shoud be balanced. Not like it is now, but also not to a always miss fight. The max it should be is 50% imo. We were overclassed, but therefore we don't just nd to wait for the nerfbat to hit us dead.

Nope atm a inoc.B can keep the poison.C away totally. Don't wanne see a inoc.C then...

well if we look at it now. We try to evenly share our points and put a lot on effect too. I point at my TKM/RIFLEMAN/CM post. Now we will do evenless dmg if we even hit them.

As a doctor planning PvP for my guild I wanted this information. There is a reason for the Doc B v. CM C scenario.

The original question here is how much potency should the innoculation have? with 2 or 3 CM's in a group v. group scenario if innoculation works 50% of the time - it is useless. I am either poisoned now or the next time.

With 3 CM's throwing poison, if its 70% on even ratings (3/10) thats 8 seconds and everyone should be 'hit'.
I'd rather keep everyone focussed on being able to cure themselves and train the rest to use team's area cures.

It's the 100% havla, or 100% thakitillo scenario. You either get that exponential 99.9% or its hardly worth it. Looking at the resources, the innoculation packs are going to cost as much as buffs. The area cures look far more viable.

I'd say that in a balanced Innoc v. Poison -> Resist v. Potency, the poison should be effective just under 1/3 of the time. It would make sense to me that equal would be Innoc B v. Area C or Single B and Innoc C v. Single C.

Ah, but it gets better! Since I had to experiment my potency up to even get a 50% hit rate, I lost 160 points on each tick. So even if you get hit, you will take about 33% (based on non-loot poisons) less damage per tick.

Not enough for you? Well, the innoculation Cs have a rating called "absorption". This will decrease the damage further when a poison manages to get through the resists.

So now you have been hit by a 33% damage-reduced poison that your innoculation reduces even further. No worries. Your group doctor (you still plan to PvP with a doctor, right?) will hit his area cure C, which will take care of that poison. In fact, his AOE will probably be larger than the poison AOE (since the CM had to sacrifice area for potency).

First area cure wasn't enough becuase you are facing 4 combat medics and you only have 1 doctor? Well, have the doctor eat some havla and spam another couple of cures.

And if that 50% to hit rate is still a problem, there is always the resist food and the resist skill tapes. These were previously pretty ineffective, but this was before you had innoculations.
