Game Mechanics: Un-nerf caster 40 damage cap!!!

[Ivory]

Those are based on live client, I checked several older clients and they stopped at the level >= 40 branch (line 1108)

This shouldn't nerf anything, it MAY have an effect on twinks though, but I don't think there is anything hitting the new caps that weren't hitting the old, incorrect caps.

In this persons own admission, these are from live... which isn't how classic was.

The cut-off for casters at 40 damage definitely isn't right (again, rod of annihilation exists, and it wasn't capped at 40 damage when they had it on classic).

You would have record of people talking about the rod of annihilation "really only being a 40/40" all through alakahzam. (let alone the handful of other items for casters that have +40 damage on them, especially in velious).

Let us look at some high end weapons! And then you gotta think, how could the classic caster damage cap REALLY be 40.... when there are so many weapons higher than 40?

First up, of course, me dream rod

BUT there are more!!

Why would they put this all/all weapon in ... if casters were excluded in such a big way from a damage cap? Makes no sense!!

Or these fine velium weapons!! Makes no sense!!

Your honors, I would have you postulate on why all these weapons exist in classic ALL THE WAY TO VELIOUS with a higher than 40 damage on them for casters... if the classic damage cap was really 40 damage.

The answer is, they wouldn't have!!!

I rest my case. Checkmate. Especially since the ONLY "evidence" they have for making this change is that "40 damage is what it is on live right now" (which is no reason at all!!!)
