What's the mezresist cap?

This post:

says the mezresist cap was raised to 10,000%. (ie, mez duration would be <1% duration). Formula being duration = 1 / (1 + mezresist percentage).

Can anyone confirm/deny/has tested?

I don't think it's reachable.

But the snarky answer to "what is the mez resist cap?" is "protection". :P

I haven't gotten anywhere near that cap, but my Bane Spider has over 1000% sleep resist (the armor upgrades give +500% each), and doesn't appear to have hit any cap.

Many mez resist powers in tanker primaries and brute/scrapper/stalker secondaries give 10000% resistance, pluc a scaling amount of protection that ranges from about Mag 6 to just over Mag 10. This means that any resistable mez that goes over your protection level is likely to only affect you for one server tick.

As I recall it, the mez resist cap used to be 100%, meaning that durations were cut in half when the cap was reached.

And no, the mez resit cap is not "protection". Protection prevents the mez from ever affecting you, much like Defense stops an attack. Mez Resistance, like Damage Resistance, reduces the effect, but never completely stops it. While you might not notice a mez that lasts less than 0.1 second, it still happens, and will break interruptable powers, unqueue queued powers, suppress toggles (it used to detoggle them), and will detoggle enemy-affecting toggles (which usually have a long recharge). And no amount of mez resist will help against an unresistable mez.
