Debuff Resistance: Need Clarification

AV Resistance does not include -Res.
The Purple Patch DOES scale -Res however. I hadn't tested this since Sonic Blast came out, so I just retested it. For this I simply used Scream to attack and compared the ratio of damage in the later ticks (after the -Res takes) and first two. For even level foes that the ratio was 1.13:1 as expected for my Blaster. Versus a -3 the ratio was 1.173:1. Versus a -4 it was 1.1875:1. Against a -6, 1.216:1. Those are 1.33, 1.44 and 1.66 multipliers for the -Res, just as expected for the Purple Patch.

Thanks Kosmos!
However, the AVs damage resistances DO resist resistance debuffs so their effectiveness is reduced by that.

While this is true, in practice it can effectively be ignored due to the way it works - you will always increase your damage by the amount the debuff says.

Slightly off-topic: Don't use Wikia. It has malware embedded in it, and for that matter isn't even entirely accurate or up-to-date. Stick to http://wiki.cohtitan.com or http://www.paragonwiki.com (the different URLs for the same wiki).

At first I was going to say it's so the OP doesn't use the link he posted in the initial post, but when I clicked on those two links, one was a youtube clip o.0 Definitely not the wiki or cohtitan. Other one was fine though.

Whoops! Copy-paste didn't take on the first one. Fixed it.

Except if the AV somehow gets 100% resistance to something. (Which they're fixing now, and is only supposed to happen to Marauder if he's both Enraged and Unstoppable)

According to http://cityofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Archvillain, an AV at level 54 will have a 87% debuff resistance. Additionally, debuffs are further resisted based on level difference. A +4 enemy will resist at 48% .
It also says "As of Issue 9, this resistance applies to -RunSpeed, -Recharge, -Endurance, -ToHit, -Defense, -Perception, -Regeneration, and -Recovery." Is this still accurate? Does that mean that -Resist debuffs would not be reduced by either the purple patch or AV resistance?
