Do status resistances stack?

[Madscientist]

Some races have resistance to one type of afflictions. There are items that give resistance to afflictions.

 

- Resistence means that tier 2 and 3 afflictions are reduces by 1 tier and you are immune to tier 1 afflictions. Is that correct?

- When you have a racial resistance and a resistance from items, do they stack? Do items stack with each other?

Like when you have resistance from 2 different sources, are you immune to tier 1 and 2 afflictions and tier 3 becomes 1?

 

I know that this game has the rule "passive abilities stack, active abilities do not stack". Racial abilities and things from the right side of the talent tree and equipment should be passive, everything else should be active. ( Like modals are active and they do not stack with other buffs ).

I guess I am almost sure what stacks regarding numerical values ( acc, defense, DR ), but I am not 100% sure, especially for all other things.

Correct

IIRC, there are only 3 fixed levels of protection against afflictions: immune, resistant, and neither. Wearing 5 items that grant resistance to dexterity afflictions will have the same effect as wearing one item with that same protection, as stacking generally only applies when it comes to numerical stats. Otherwise players would be able to build multiple de facto immunities by easily combining various redundant items, racial bonuses, spells/buffs, consumables, etc.

Resistances don't stack. You are either resistant or not. Multiple resistances to let's say PER afflictions don't stack to immunity against PER afflictions.
