What is Potency in Diablo Immortal and how to increase it?

sportskeeda.com:

Diablo Immortal late-game builds come with many secondary attributes that allow players to have a significantly easier time dealing with some of the tougher enemies that the RPG throws at them as the narrative progresses.

One such Attribute is called Potency. It determines the duration of harmful effects and debuffs that are applied to enemies in the game. Effects such as stun, slow, and freeze have a much longer effect when the player’s Potency is much higher than the base Resistance that the enemy comes with.

In layman’s terms, the effects of each of the status effects are significantly extended and improved if Potency exceeds Resistance, and the duration is reduced if it’s the opposite.

The duration buff is directly related to the numerical difference between the two Secondary Attributes, and the larger the gap, the more the effect duration. Hence, Potency in Diablo Immortal highly depends on the build a player is going for.

The value of Potency in Diablo Immortal is directly related to the player’s build and the type of gameplay they are looking to go for. A character build grounded more in utility and debuffing the enemy with control effects will want to prioritize Potency and make it a more reliable support character.

DPS will not be the top priority, as being able to stun the Diablo Immortal boss longer will allow the rest of the team to put in a lot of free DPS and make the fight significantly easier.

There are primarily three methods through which players will be able to increase their potency in the game:

1) Willpower

The primary attribute that one will need to scale is Willpower, as putting points into this will increase both Potency and the character's base Resistance. The Combat Rating goes up by one every time
