Tank Damage Mitigation

Can anyone tell me the new damage mitigation caps?

at VR14 the Physical and Spell Resistance was capped at 32500 (50% damage mitigation)

but as I hit VR16, I know I watched a change in my mitigation drop.

I'm 2 peices away from the Armor Master set, and with that equiped and my current physical and spell resistance, I will be around the 45k mark on both... Im just wondering if this is too much, or not enough...

    Can anyone confirm this? Cause I feel like that was a guess... Maybe with a hover over with your mouse and a screen shot?

    The damage mitigation formula is
    Mitigation = Armour*(1-Penetration)/(Level*1000) - Focus/(Level*1000) - 0.12*Spell Erosion
    Spell Erosion and Piercing are interchangable. The game doesn't show mitigation values only armour values. What screenshot do you want to see?

    Man, I must be dense, because I've never heard if the stat "Focus" or "Spell Erosion" or "Piercing" those all sound like pvp terms, I'm a pve tank.

    Would you mind explaining a little deeper, maybe with some values in place of the variables please?

    A well renowned player but up a build recently. In that build he claimed to have over the 33k resistance. In that topic he stated the higher resist was capped BUT if they had something that reduced the armor (or like penetration) that the added resistance then would be applied.

    Example would be like he has 40k resist, the attack has 5k armor pen, seeing as after the pen the resist is still above 33k, so he received 50% mitigation.

    Is this how it works? I would like some confirmation

    Yes,, it works that way. New cap seems to be 32900-33k and higher only is accounted vs penetration. Said that, bosses base penetrations are unknown and the encounters where you get pierced armor are very few. With 33k resists you can do ALL the content, and for most of the content you can get away with way less, depending on the group composition, CP...

    If you're on PC you can get an addon that tells you your exact physical and spell resistance percentage
