The simplest way to nerf slow is to merely put a mitigation on bosses which is a mechanic that has existed since PoP. Anything that was immune to slow in real EQ should mitigate slow here.

Also guys, please understand that AC caps are a thing and that all the AC you see on armor does almost nothing after an easily reached threshold.

Mitigation is too opaque - changing the actual magnitude of the spell & requiring a higher level spell (more mana) for higher level enemies is cleaner.

This go-around I hit soft cap at level 32 (no farming gear for levels, just progressing and being choosy about items. There are a couple different AAs that raise AC mitigation and avoidance caps and they aren’t useless.
I ended up prioritizing HP and Mana over raw AC and it’s better.

If I remember correctly didn’t everything pop on basically resist or reduce slow anyway? This becomes moot in a few expansions.
