Penetration, resistances, critical.
I cannot find any info for soft or hard caps.
Not played for years so many things have changed.

    You'll find PvE bosses sit on 18'200 resistances, so this is the target for penetration.
    A Tank brings around 11'200 through major and minor breach, and crusher enchantment.
    This means you want to find approximately 7k for most situations - however in organised Trials it drops to almost nothing.

    33'200 Resistance is 50%, this is a hard cap.

    Critical chance has a hard cap of 100% I believe, because I don't think there are ways for the enemy to reduce this number.
    Critical damage is hard capped at 125%.

    Obviously in PvP their penetration will reduce your resistances, so if you ran 50k resistances somehow, you might have 50% damage reduction against all but a very slim minority who somehow get 20k penetration (I don't recommend it, just pointing out the feasability).

    Thanks bro, really solid info.
    I don't know why I could not seem to find any reliable source for these numbers on even build sites and "famous" ESO players like deltia or alcast

    another cap that is not often mentioned is speed/block mitigation

    block mitigation caps at around 90-95%

    speed cap unmounted is 200% (100% base + 100% from other sources)

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities
