I don't have time to run tests like that but I can tell you the resist buff as it is, is useless against good CM poison/disease. You simply cannot make the eff high enough to counter 200+ potency poison.

We've been playing with the poison resists trying to determine how well they work and I've come to the conclusion that they are broken.
We've experimented with poison kits ranging from +103 to +136 potency.
We've experimented with resist buffs ranging from +210 to +268 effectiveness.
With over 500 attempts in various configurations we are unable to get less than a 12% success rate, and most of the time it's around 20%. Increases above the 210 make NO difference in the rate of successful hits, so the only conclusion I can draw is that we are capping the poisons at their minimum chance to hit but that min is NOT working out to be the 5% that it should be.
Has anyone else replicated these results? Have you experienced different results? Please post your experiences and thoughts. If things are not working at the %% they are supposed to we need to let the devs know so they can fix it!

Exactly, this is the perfect counter-balance. 200+ potency requires you to drop power off of the poisons. The only real obstacle remaining is the fact that auto-ticking B-S still exists.
