Damage Cap Question

[BlumpkinMan]

Hi, i'm a BRAND new Everquest player , so please be easy on the abbreviations and Everquest lingo.

I'm curious if the apparent damage cap ever goes away? I'm level 13, and am capped out at 28 damage per swing. I've read that at level 20 my cap becomes 60 damage per swing, but I can't find any information after that.

Basically, I'm just wondering if the damage cap ever becomes unlimited? It's not very fun to collect gear that would increase my power, because of the cap. Maybe there's a different class I should be playing?

Thank you.

If I recall correctly (good chance I do not..) there is a cap until 30 too, but you need a pretty chunky weapon to meet it.

Damage caps were recently overhauled though, so take anything you read with a pinch of salt.

Vanilla EQ was pretty good at offsetting twinking (until Kunark rolled around with high damage, low delay weapons, huge regen items and so on [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]).

Does this mean that there is no cap AFTER 30?

Damage cap goes away at 30. I think the cap up to lvl 30 is 120ish damage per hit

those are thedg value caps... so you put it into the dmg calc that then uses str as well... so that's why a 1-10 war will max out at 20 + str bonus
