The cap on ahazi using primus is +541 to kin/en, which is higher than what you have there. I think the absolute cap is +600 to kin/en.
The 'absolute' cap would come from using simple layers, such as energy or kinetic, and is 8200 for a single resist.

The hindrance comes into account before the layers. Your unlayered armor is capped, meaning you will have 6000 elemental in the absence of layering, and thus your hindrance is capped because it is tied directly to unlayered elemental resists.
sorry i changed the title of the thread, i meant the primus layed cap

Grr you beat me.
Those earlier replies came out jumbled. The basic gist of what I was trying to say is that you have reached the unlayered cap on your cores (final piece unlayered cap being 7k kin 5k en 6k base assault, 5k kin 7k en 6k base recon, and 6k to all battle).
Perfect 4x primus will add 600 to kin/en and remove 600 from the base. In your case, you are getting +527 kin/en and -527 base, which is close, but not capped. I used the ahazi cap for primus of +541 (or the +539 in my sig) to show that you can still go higher.
Now, you used your max'd out hinderances as your reason for thinking you were capped. This is partially true, but not entirely. This is because the hinderance is tied directly to the unlayered base, and has nothing to do with how good your layers are. So, in short you are at your unlayered cap and need only to focus on better layer resources to push your resists further.
I hope it was less of a ramble that time

8123 on Ahazi, and I seem to remember hearing of better someplace else. Go-go gadget luck of the draw on resource spawns
