There is no hard cap but a virtual one. All mitigation is a reduction of a number by a percent, which means that it will never it 100% full mitigation. But the closest I have ever gotten and could sustain for at least 1min was ~90% that but if you use multiple peoples help and multiple ulties you can reach around 97-98% but it will only last for a few seconds and is impossible to sustain or keep doing multiple times. Also there is no need to go beyond 85% in PvE. Even that is a bit excessive.

A bit old but numbers still hold true.

Apr 05, 2017 Damage reduction — how does it work? BioWare Social Network Unofficial Fan Forums. New Members, Rules and Settings. 100 DR = 50% reduction in damage i.e. Double your effective hit points. Mass Effect Trilogy, Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2, Dragon Age Inquistion, KOTOR. Damage modifiers refer to the buffs or debuffs applied to a unit that causes it to deal or receive increased or decreased damage. These are percentage values. They don't add extra flat damage but modify all damage normally done. These buffs or debuffs are received by champion abilities, neutral buffs.

Do you know how the diminished returns on damage mitigation are calculated?

So say an attack does 10000 and you have hard caped armor and your a dk with their passives plus the sword and board passive and say Absorb magick and you are blocking. Armor is then 50% or 0.5 dk passive is 10% or 0.9 sword and board is 20% or 0.8 absorb magick is 8% or 0.92 and blocking is another 50% so 0.5 that will then be:
10000*0.5*0.9*0.8*0.92*0.5=10000*0.1656=1656 you have now reduced the damage by a total of 83.44% of its base value.

Cause its easy to understand that of course there has to be diminishing returns or you would mitigate everything by just having hard caped armor and block.
