Soft caps hard caps

[Gravitus]

Can someone refresh me on the difference and where do I find a guide on such caps?

 

Thanks

Soft cap: You can make the number bigger, but it won't make a difference

 

Hard cap: You can't make the number bigger

Actually I have a related question on Hard Caps

 

If I have capped resist at 90, but the actual number is 110, does that mean I have reserve for being Resist Debuffed.  Or since its hard capped, that extra is completely wasted?

Both are only accurate most of the time. Quite often you get debuffed and depending on you having debuff resistance, extra numbers can be very critical. For example my fortunata has pretty nice defenses, but no debuff resistance... So even when she is softcapped, if she gets a quicksand under her feet (big defense debuff), she suddenly is pretty squishy again.

Yes, it would create a buffer where your resist can't be dropped unless it's debuffed by a value greater than 20%.

Fortunata's have defense debuff resistance. They get it from Foresight. It's not very much (neither is the to-hit debuff resistance they get from the Widow version of Combat Training: Offensive), but it's leagues better than the nothing Soldiers get.
