Trying to figure out the relationship between elements and states

[Shaz]

Let's say I have a skill that has a 'fire' element, and it inflicts a state 100% of the time.


Then I have some armor that has an element rate of 50% for fire. That means the skill will only inflict (about) 50% of the regular damage, right? Or does it mean it will completely block the attack 50% of the time?


Will it still inflict the state 100% of the time? Or do I also need to add a state resist to the armor?


I want to make it so the chance of inflicting the state is the same as the chance of inflicting damage (but I'm not explaining it very well). I want to avoid the situation where no damage is inflicted but the state is still applied. Basically, the more damage inflicted out of the full possible damage, the more likely it is that the state will also be applied.

Dmg is cut in half, state is still inflicted 100% of the time.

Element rate is just a damage modifier.


It doesn't affect state rates.


They are separate things, so you will need a script to tie the two together.

thanks. Looks like I need to do a bit more then. It may require a common event to look at the element rate for fire, then use that to see whether or not to apply the state.

Can't you just put a "State: 50%" into the features list of enemies strong against fire?

 

[Shaz]

Not sure I understand. It's not enemies strong against fire - it's equipment that resists fire, I want to have a lower chance that a state caused by a fire-based skill will be inflicted.

Then put the state resistance on that same equipment?

That's what I asked in my OP

Oh right. Sorry, I lost track of the starting point of the discussion.
