According to UESP's combat page:
Attack type
Weapon enchantment's damage = 20% base chance
Single-target direct attack ability = 10% base chance
Area-of-effect abilities = 5 % base chance
Single-target damage-over-time abilities = 3% base chance
Area-of-effect damage-over-time abilities = 1% base chance
Destruction staff Light or Heavy attack = 0% base chance
thanks. after i asked the question i found these on alcasts site. So my killer blade(which deals disease) has 10 percent chance to apply minor defile?
i asked about status because my dark elf supposed to be immune to burning status effects but i some times have that burning effect on me. i assume there are 2 things which confuses me?

Shields ignore penetration (because they have no resistance to penetrate)
You can crit a shielded person, but for 0% extra damage (still counts as crit for proccing sets etc.)
Poison/fire is a DOT that has a chance to be applied to you when you take fire/poison type damage (or special abilities, sets etc. cause this).
Don't take what people said too seriously.
