DR cap?

Hi guys, I know the DR hard cap is 80% but what if you surpass this number? Say we have dude with 130% DR (trough feats, powers, w/e) and we have a mob/player with 70% RI. So the calculation goes 130-70%=60% effective DR or 80%-70%=10% effective DR? Thanks in advance.

    Hmm thats a nice question, but in fact, no one have tried passing DR Cap, because they know theres is a cap, they upgrade their Deflect stat, since is the only way to have more defense:

    1000 damage (-80%) = 200 damage, if deflected (200 - 50%) = 100 damage.

    i personally think that dafense runs forward, in your case something like 80%(+50%)

    Well,the thing is that Protection Paladin can reach ~200% DR so if RI is substracted from 80% instead of 200% then we have a big problem here.

    Well, this calls for some testing.

    Grab GF or Protadin friend - go to IwD - pick different sides - meet in PvP zone - fire up ACT - test, without and with DR-buffing skill. Please do communicate the results...

    The hard cap and soft cap have to do with diminuishing returns. Of course we can surpass a hard cap, just that it takes a crazy high amount of more defense to rise by another % the damage resistance or whatever stat is being considered.

    The question is a good one I would also like to know the results if any testing is done.
