Does anyone know what the Slow Cap is?

[malewitch40]

I made an Earth Ice controller and with Quicksand and Snowstorm my goal is to hit the slow cap every single fight. This isnt about being the best or most uber guy, its just a concept character im playing for fun. I just want to slow mobs 99.9% if thats possible for fun, is it possible to get slows that high? 

 

Also, what is the exact cap number if at all possible?  i plan on 6 slotting both powers, again, this isnt trying to be the deadliest fighter, just keeping a theme and having fun.  Any info appreciated 🙂

Slow cap is -90%. ,but level differences mean you need more than that in practice. 

138% slow will cap a lvl 54 if you are a 50+1.

 

Some enemies have slow resistance though.

Thank you, much appreciate the info.  Having a lot of fun with Earth Cold.

Keep in mind move speed and recharge are separate.  The move speed cap is -90%.  The -recharge cap is -75%.  Of course you can't slot for -recharge anyway, but if you are looking to stack different powers, it's useful to know.

 

Can check out general caps here for everything:

Slow is a great CC ability to abuse early in the game. In the middle you start having more trouble as some enemies (War Wolves, Carnie Strong Men etc...) they are like 100% resistant to slow and ALSO immobilize, so they just blast right through it and hit you in the face. If you have enough CC to keep them all under control, then the movement slow plus the -recharge really makes for good damage mitigation.

 

Things that teleport aren't so limited by it either and snow storm sometimes makes the guy who has it on him take off in a random direction. If that's a War Wolf (or anything slow immune) then he just runs all over the place aggro-ing more things. I post this because I have tried, similarly, to make a controller that just abused slow as much as possible and I have found you will need a variety or CC to really deal with what the game throws at you (with the exception of untouchable, you almost never see anyone use these powers and you would think that since it is so rare it would be extra strong, but it seems to get resisted a lot.)

Am I right in thinking there are some -Rech powers in the Incarnate chains?
