Resistance potion

It works, it gives you 300 resistance to certain negative state.
But if you ask whether it really gives some help against taking negative states, the answer is a big "NO".
In this game, there are only 2 situations:
(1. below 900 Resistance, or (2. above 900 Resistance
Resistance works like this, because the efficiency curve is not linear.
You are completely immune to certain negative state once you reach 1000 Resistance or partly immune to background negative effect by once you reach 900 Resistance. (for example, poison swamp)
So, if your resistance is stay in any interval between "0" and "899", forget your resistance, any number looks no big difference to you.
and about this 300 Resistance from potion, it also dosen't mean 30% cut, since the curve is not linear. If you get 4 hits to take a negative state, you will face the same fact even after you drink the potion.

Ahh okay thank you, I never check how much it add, I just found it weird that it feel like no difference at all. Might as well not use it T__T

I can tell you the post above is full of BS. I have 850ish Chaos Resistance while fighting Ozma on NG+ (500 from Master of Chaos 2-piece bonus, 200 from ring and some 150ish from Vitality) and Chaos damage was tickling me and Chaos status build up was nearly non-existent. I would barely get 10-15% build up even if I lost most of my health to chaos spells/attacks.

You always want to have both ring and necklace with appropriate resistance for a fight. I would only use consumables once you have a good hang on the fight and just need a bit of a push to defeat the boss.

You kinda have to stack resistance for it to be really noticeable, just an elixir alone will help a bit but not much. Gonna have to stack on some more via gear and points in vitality, but yeah then you can reach a point where you become mostly or fully immune to elemental status effects.

You're arguing and repeating the essence of what was said.

He's right that fully immune is 1000, and 900 is partially immune on swamp ground.
