With RDM's new JA, I've been doing some thinking. It's relatively easy--I hear, that is--to hit 50% slow on Elegy, and now RDM can get something like 78%. Is there a known cap on how much magic slow a mob can get?

If not, 128% slow on a mob sounds downright preposterous, but before now we would have had no way to ever test this. It sounds pretty worth looking into.

Mob slow caps at 100%. Para's likely a better use of your Saboteur.

EDIT: When the mob is also Elegied, that is.

no. theres a difference in attack speed between a mob with just elegy on it and a mob with slow and elegy on it. elegy is 50% slow alone.

I've never had much luck with Para II, to be honest. Does this make it more worth it to go 5/5 merits after?

I'd say it makes it more worth at least considering, yes. Whether it's actually worth the merits depends on what you're doing, but 4-5/5 is probably the way to go if at all.
