Apocalypse allowing debuff shrugs

subash_vikram

Didn’t have a great title for this. But AV is shrugging off debuffs left and right in EQ. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a node I’m missing? Or just another bug?

Read the nodes. AV has increased AA, which means Apoc won't stop him from shrugging off his debuffs

100% of 200% is still all of it lol. Maths.

It’s additive, not multiplicative. They really should say +100% because that’s what they mean.

It’s weird how everyone who makes this mistake is also cocky about it.

2 + 2 = 7, MATH SUCKAS!!!

It is annoying to watch AV tenacity all your debuffs off specials tho. I, too, clutched my pearls when I first encountered it. White Mags gives you more reliable parry/stun, if that helps.

The way this game works is that ability accuracy is a base stat.

So Apoc reduces ability accuracy by 100%.

Usually, Agent venom has base 100% ability accuracy and has a 70% chance to shrug. Apoc reduces it by 100% of AV’s base chance, so 70% - 70% = 0%.

However, when agent venom has 200% base ability accuracy, he now has a 140% chance to shrug. But Apoc doesn’t have -200% shrug off ability accuracy, he only has -100%. So he can still only reduce it by the original 100% of his base chance, 70%. That means 140% - 70% = 70% chance to shrug.
