Caltrops' Slow as an Immobilize

Quick question about the slow in Caltrops. If 4 slotted with Pace of the Turtle Slows it has a -158% run speed. Would this in affect at as an immobilize? If not, how about if double stacked?

All input is welcome. Thanks in advance!

No, there's a movement speed debuff cap of 90% specifically so that you can't use slowing powers as an immobilize. Otherwise it would render immobilize resistance and protection semi-useless.

Thanks for the reply!

I'd put Pacing of the Turtle Chance for Recharge Slow in there.

My spines/WP scrapper has two of them, one in Caltrops, one in Quills. The one in Quills has a chance to proc every time Quills pulses; not sure about Caltrops. She also has the Dark Watcher Despair, Chance for Recharge Slow in Rise to the Challenge.

Between the three of them, that's a fair amount of recharge slow. And recharge slow is the functional equivalent of defense (i.e. you get hit less often) without paying for, or suboptimally slotting for, defense sets.

No, procs in damage auras only proc each 10 seconds, not every time it pulses. Same with caltrops.

I was not sure. Still, that's a fair amount of stacked chance for -recharge both ways, especially since whatever is in the caltrops, quills, and aura is getting slowed many different ways.
