Newbies CM Question:
I have tried some poisons and disease, and I found out that the damage I do to my target is always the Effectiveness x 2, for example, if my poison pack effectiveness is 280, the damage to target is 560 per tick.

I just master cm for 2 weeks and I am not really sure how poison and disease works, someone told me potency is what matters on the packs, they said potency is the one that really does the damage to target, hum can someone help me clarify this? What does effectiveness and potency do on poison/disease packs?
Thanks

Potency is how often the poison will resist, effectiveness is the damage it will do. The damage I believe is figured out by using the formula: (effectiveness)*(1+Combat medic effectiveness)/100)

Almost...
(effectiveness)*(1+(Combat medic effectiveness)/100)

Yeah, difference is 2.00 vs 1.01 though. The math in me dies hard sometimes.
