Thread: Difference between Potency and Effectiveness in poisons?
Hi there, everyone...
I'm trying to determine the difference between Potency and Effectiveness on a Poison C. The two schematics I've created to test are P59/E225 and P107/E167. Can anyone tell me specifically what the two of those affect, and how? What are you desired stats for P/E?
All feedback is appreciated,

Potency pretty much equates to a percentage of chance to effect the target. The higher the better.
Effectiveness is used to calculate damage per tick at (effectiveness)*((CM Effectiveness skill/100)+1) per tick
Thanks, Dlobok.
Would you think that the 107 Potency is overkill then? What do you shoot for in stats for your C's?

I am going to be running a test with Zarlor checking the effectiveness of the Cure packs against the C poisons. I made 3 packs one i dumped all experimental points into effectiveness, I fully experimented on potency for the second, and the third i split down the middle. The poisons were made with normal componets so they are not the 500 dmg per tick type (prolly around 325 per tick). I will post the results of the test with all the stats when I am able to get with Zarlor with this
