There is a difference between holding an AV and permanently holding an AV

To hold an AV it is easy 
To permanently hold an AV, that is for dominators
Controllers do not have the ability to stack magnitudes like a Dominator 

This is especially true for +4 AVs. 

     And that ability to perma Hold is intimately connected to their PToD (Purple Triangles of Death), a reference to the visual graphics present on AVs, the purple colored triangles circling the AV.  When those triangles are moving upward as they circle the AV their protection vs almost all mez is increased by +50 on a base of 3.  When those triangles are moving downward they aren't receiving that buff and the typical base of 3 is their only protection vs most mez.  Sleep and Immobilize protection never benefits from the PToD.   So to perma Hold an AV you'll need to stack serious amounts of mag on the AV to exceed 53 mag (and maintain over their substantial mez resistance that amount of magnitude.)  Even for a perma Dom this is no small feat mostly because that resistance seriously shortens duration of your mez making stacking difficult.

Right, and I have gone over the numbers concerning this if anyone is interested, it's in the Dominator forum.  

But the bottom line if anyone is interested in Perma holding an AV, it's not going to be via. controller, only Doms can do this.
