One of them will take priority

Will basically be if spell is higher than physical x
Or if physical is equal to or higher then x

Yeah which one is the question or maybe it does both 🤔

As I was trying to say. One will be priority; if spell is highest or equal to physical it will use spell to calculate

Or physical is higher then it will use that.

But if they are even, it will just work and we can just accept it and move on

I do not know the answer to your question, but this will be a nerf against anyone but troll tanks. Someone needs 30k resistances for this to even be equal to how it was and Tremorscale applies after debuffs like Major and Minor breech etc. Nobody has 30k resistance or even close after debuffs.

Most of my pve tanks have 30k+ resistances. I’m unsure why your saying nobody will have this?

For anyone curious the cap is 33k on both resistances

Just like critical and spell/weapon damage now, it will take the higher of the two (edited: as per my post below, this currently only applies to the damage element of the monster set). Whichever one that is.

This is a soft cap. It generally won't have an impact in PvE to go higher as most things which can do Fracture, Sunder, etc., reduce your resistances to 0 (except the two-handers in Rockgrove and some other very rare/niche instances).

To my point, though, this cap is not reflected with Tremorscale.

This is with Fortified Brass (all white, no traits or enchantments), so you can see the stats:



This is with Major Resolve on top:



This is with Major Resolve + Master's One-Hand and Shield:



Let's fiddle around with my single target heal CP just to eek out a little more from Master's:



Oh, right, then there's The Lady mundus stone:



It just keeps going. Bear in mind, white gear, no protective glyphs. You could easily push over 50k resistances.

Now, is there any point? In PvE, not really. The extra 600-800 you gain is offset be the loss of another set to make way for something like Fortified Brass, and the tank gains nothing by being over 33k, which they will be if they use any source of Minor/Major Resolve. Most tanks know that they shouldn't be aiming for 33k without buffs -- and, sadly, I do know a few who think the opposite.

Of course, just like any other stat in this game, there are deminishing returns.

Having looked at this properly, I retract my above statement about it taking the higher of the two. It takes the lower of the two. So to answer the original poster (nothing changes if it's equal, it will take one stat as priority for damage, but currently looks at the lower of the two resistance stats for the debuff) and correct some of the misconception that even I fell into:

You can test this with "Essence of Armor":


Here's the base: 31,235 (with Fortified Brass as per previous tests above)


Here's using a Spell Resistance potion:




So part of what I had previously said was true -- the damage aspect will increase with the higher of the two. However, the resistance debuff will not. I wonder if this was simply an oversight since ZOS has seemingly preferred to go with an "Armor" stat rather than splitting. Poisons also had a similar issue a while back.

See the difference between STAT_ARMOR_RATING, STAT_PHYSICAL_RESIST, and STAT_SPELL_RESIST.

Thanks! Looks like it's a good set to give group debuffs on enemies
