Questions about Seal

Is Seal the same as silence?

Yes. Seal is how the game silences a target. While Sealed, a character cannot use its skills until the effect ends.
Does Defiance remove Seal?

No. Defiance frees you only from the control effects it names, such as Stun, Grab and Fear. Seal is not on its list. Cleansing skills and Healing Potions remove Seal.
Which stat lowers the chance of getting Sealed?

Seal Resist. It lowers the chance that an enemy's Seal skills land on you. The attacker's Seal Chance pushes that chance back up.
Does Seal always land when a skill ignores Block and Evasion?

No. Ignoring Block and Evasion only means the hit itself cannot be blocked or evaded. The Seal is still a separate chance on that hit. The target's Seal Resist lowers that chance, so the Seal can still fail.
Does being Sealed build up resist the way being Stunned does?

No. Every class has a resist passive. Its stacking Status Effect Resist builds only from hits taken under Stun, Knockdown, Airborne, Frost or Fear. Seal is not on that list. So hits taken while only Sealed add no stacks.
Does the 100% Seal chance on NPC targets also work on players?

No. That line is only for NPC targets. Against a player, the skill rolls the normal Seal chance printed in the same tooltip. That player's Seal Resist then pulls the chance down.
