If you are buffed with either champ resits or bot resists, and you get debuffed, does this still double the debuff ammount off leg weapons? IE for champ debuffs, if you are buffed, they are increased to match.

Just wondering

Can't remember the exact formula, but part of the debuff is for resist buffs and part of it is for item resists.
If there are no resist buffs, a fraction of that part will debuff item resists.


Short answer is yes, the effect will increase vs targets with resist buffs up.

The last time I tested this a few years ago, it went like this:

1. Remove 1% castable resistance for every point of debuff delve value, until castable resistance hits zero.

2. Remove 1% of any remaining resistance (first item, then racial) for every two points of remaining debuff delve value. This can take your effective resistance below zero.

3. Remove 1% of any remaining item resistance for every point of spell resistance piercing. This cannot go below zero.

I don't remember if spell pierce can remove racial resists or not, at step 3. I didn't include it, but that could be incorrect.

Edit: Also note that debuffs affect tier 1 resists only. All tier 2 resists such as AOM, Empty Mind, innate tank resists, and Fury multiply against whatever damage is calculated for tier 1.
