Hi,

I know that bots/traps can get to the soft cap for defense. Is that the same with thugs/traps?

My Thugs/Traps MM is about 43% to smashing/lethal when I have Personal Force Field/Combat Jumping/Maneauvers/Scorpion Shield up. It's 46% when I have shield drone out, which can survive longer than expected if you down get in the middle of mobs too much (but I like to do that)

Also, with all the MM resistance/defense uniques slotted (using gangwar for the extras), along with PFG, Maneuvers, and Enforcer's leadership, my Pets are Softcapped to some types - don't remember right now. I'll edit when i have a look later...

So, yes they can.
