hey guys,
i've got a question. how true is the damage cap posted on game mechanics?
Quote: "levels 1-9 - damage cap is 20
levels 10-19 - damage cap is 28
Levels 20-29 - damage cap is 60"
as a 14 SK (135 str), having a 9 dmg 1 HS weapon, i never reach 28 dmg. is this common? how hard will that weapon hit for max dmg at lvl 20? i want to know to see if i switch to a 2hs when reaching my twenties.
thanks and sorry for my ignorance [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
The effect of the damage cap is that for levels 1-9 any weapon with a base damage stat greater than 10 does damage as if it had a damage stat of 10, for 10-19 the effect limits weapon base damage to 14, and for 20-29 it's 30(?). Normal hits are nominally capped at 2*base damage, thus the values quoted from the wiki. It is possible to exceed 2*base damage with a hit, depending on your STR & ATK (or maybe just ATK since it's modified by STR.) Large hits (> 2*base) happen often with high-level melees. I can't recall ever seeing hits larger than 20 from 1-9 here or on live, but I've gotten 29+ as low as L16 with twinked and buffed Warrior & Ranger chars here and I seem to recall doing so at L12 with a twinked and buffed Ogre Warrior on live (been a long time tho, memory could be false.)
