Defense Debuff resistance, is there a cap?

I was curious as to whether there was a cap for defense debuff resistance? As I was messing around with various builds pondering my other thread about the most survivable brute combinations, I came up with a pretty neat Axe/SR build and noticing that I was able to tweak it to 99.7% defense debuff resistance.

.3% away from complete immunity seems pretty amazing and very unlikely to me....so is there a cap? What is it at?

((And with the movement of a single slot I was able to up it to 101.3%. This can't mean the character would be immune to defense debuffs? I must certainly not be understand how these numbers convert into actual game play.))

Thank you, Julius. I figured that was the magic number, but couldn't hurt to fuss with it a little bit. At least I can now free up those slots and do something more useful now.

You got it Gospel. SR does some crazy things when soft-capped and running 95% DDR.

SR does crazy things with it's soft cap and base DDR. Godly indeed

Just by slotting the SR powers, you are also enhancing the DDR they provide. I didn't quite fully slot the passives on my DM/SR, so I'm sitting at about 91-92% DDR, but that's still significantly higher than other defense-based sets are able to achieve on a regular basis.
