Slow cap on AVs

AVs don't have different caps. The -speed cap is 90%, -rch cap is 75%.

AVs do, of course, have resistances to these effects, details here: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Arch-villain

I happen to have an ice/time, my most recent 50. You can have some noticable effect on an AV's recharge and speed, though you won't max out the debuffs against them. I didn't take Shiver but that would further the debuff(s) against AVs.

Yeah, AV resistance (Purple Triangles) makes it crazy hard to cap most debuffs on them.

To hit the -75% recharge cap vs a level 50 AV's 85% resistance to -Recharge you'd need to layer on about 500% -recharge. Vs a level 54 AV you'd need 577%.

To hit the -90% movement cap against a lvl 50 AV you'd need 600% -speed. Against a level 54 AV that increases to just over 692% -speed.

Ah yeah, didn't think about the purple patch... so flooring the recharge of a level 54 AV (as a level 50 PC) would actually take closer to.... 1200% -Recharge? Likewise hitting the -Runspeed cap vs a 54AV would take nearly 1450%.

Man that's a lot.
