Slow

Slows are modifiers from that cause actions to take longer. Slows can apply to a specific stat (such as attack speed or movement speed) — if a specific type of slow is not specified, it applies to everything the affected entity does. Slows are always multiplicative with each other.

Higher enemies are less affected by Slows:

15% less Slow effect on Magic monsters
30% less Slow effect on Rare monsters
50% less Slow effect on Unique monsters

Additionally, Slows have 10% less effect on all monsters for each player in the area beyond the first and monsters cannot be slowed below 75% of their base speed.

Slows are a debuff effect that cause actions to take longer. Slows can apply to a specific stat, such as movement speed; if otherwise unspecified, it affects action speed (animations). Slow effects are always multiplicative with each other.

Mechanics

The effect of slow is innately diminished based on enemy rarity:

15% less Slow effect on Magic monsters
30% less Slow effect on Rare monsters
50% less Slow effect on Unique monsters

Monsters cannot be slowed below 75% of their base speed.

Additionally, Slows have 10% less effect on all monsters for each player in the area beyond the first, up to 50% less with a party of six.

Pathfinder's Relentless Pursuit Ascendancy Notable provides unaffected by action speed slows.
