So I have a Curse Max Radiant Silvermail, that already naturally has a curse max with it.
When it was just a 3* Drake Scale armor, the Curse max UV was the same bar as the natural curse max the 5* armor has.

So why does the tool tip for the 5* double max Curse resistance appear shorter than it should actually be?

I tested this by wearing a Black Kat Cowl with Negative Curse Max, and even with double max resists on the armor, I only got what appears to be curse resist medium.

I've been wondering the same about other status UVs and what it means.
Am I being undercut?

How odd.

I'm not sure. But then, the bars do lie.

screen shots

Screen shots would help us evaluate this. And if we can't explain it, then screen shots would help your subsequent bug report to Three Rings.

Here are some screenshots I took.

First the double max armor:

Second the what appears to be only medium resistance:

averaging?

Correct me if I'm wrong --- I don't have time to check right now --- but isn't this how the defensive power summary works? Your resistances from your two armor pieces are added, and then the sum is halved. In other words, they're averaged. Is that right?

So, if you have Curse+8 on one piece, and Curse-4 on the other piece, then you're averaging +8 and -4, and you get +2.

I thought they were just added?

@Bopp

They show up like that. Since we don't have any actual numbers, I'd just go with plain addition. I'd say integers are better than decimals which you'd get when say, combining Skolver+Snarbolax.

Well if BKC is -4, and RSS

Well if BKC is -4, and RSS naturally has plus 4 and the UV has another plus 4, I thought I should have +4 altogether.

When I combine the Max poison UV's on my Vog Coat and Cap, I reach status max with +8.
Status resistance aren't divided like defenses are...
So why does is still look like I have only +2 curse resist?

I still think something isn't adding up.

How much shock resistance is on the black kat cowl in your picture?
