So I pose this question to my fellow docs, how do you allocate your experimentation points when crafting resist buffs? I'm not sure how the resist vs. potency system works.

I personally go with near max power and try and get the duration over 2500. 2500 isaround 45 minutes...and I figure that's really about all a major battle will last. Plus, any decent group will have a doc with them that can just re-apply them.

As far as what works, I've been told that anything 190ish or over will pretty much protect you from anything. Spider Poisons might be a different story, but I'd shoot for anything 185+.

I guess it's feasible to make hour/hour+ durations with like 130-140ish resists (which will protect against medium ~~range~~ poisons) but you're still stuck going back to the doctor within a time pretty close to an hour. To me it's worth being damn near immune and having to get another buff 15 minutes sooner.

Edit: Protect against medium power poisons

This is straight from the CM boards. We had some good people do some hard testing on these and they posted the results. In a nutshell you want to get your power up as high as possible now and thats extremely important with the area cures. You no longer get a 2.0x modifier for being a master doctor when you use an area cure.

Couple of things to think about.

1. The only difference between a B and a C is that a C has absorbtion. That being said if all you care about is effectiveness and duration then I suggest making B's. The reason being that the resouces required are more general so you can use higher quality stuff and get better stats on the power/duration.

2. You may want to play with your resources a bit. For example, Use high DR resouces and then experiment the power (or the other way around).

3. In the end I would go with power over duration.

Based on my own experiences. Boosting the effect on resists to max is not worth it.

As a guidline I try to get as close to 200 effect without going over that. Whatever I have left pointwise goes to duration.

Absorption is near useless. Even at max experimented for absorption your going to be pretty disapointed by how much it actually absorbs.
