Darkest Night

Just curious is the -DMG resisted? and Can 5 tanks with it reduces an AVs damage to ZERO?

-damage is resisted by damage resistance, but with the wrinkle that any given type of damage resistance only resists -damage for the equivalent type of damage.

That is to say, if a target has smashing resistance, any smashing damage attacks they have will be less affected by -damage (but any e.g. energy attacks they have will be debuffed fully, unless they have energy resistance too).

This also means -resistance actually boosts the effects of -damage.

I'm not sure what the underlying formulas are (or if there's just a cap on -damage), but you can't reduce a target's damage to zero.

Minimum damage for anything is -10%

As mentioned, the minimum damage will be 10% of the base damage of an attack, and AVs resist -damage the same way that everything does: with their current resistance to that specific type.

Here is a post with a long, drawn-out example that uses Cold Domination to show how Benumb's -damage changes based on when you use it in one of the KM threads, and uses two damage types with differing resistances to show how widely the -damage can be affected on a single instance.

It also has a somewhat related supporting screenshot using Surveillance on my DP/MM Blaster showing that the -14% resistance from Piercing Rounds (the lethal damage secondary effect) affected the -damage after I switched to chemical ammo, changing it from -7% to -7.98%.

Ah, interesting. Since darkest night has no damage component, does it mean its not resisted and they take full debuff?

Thanks for the info.
