SStrength 'soft cap' & mainhand damage bonus

[dhoushi]

So to reiterate ~

Most stats soft cap at 200 (where the gains become smaller past the 200 mark), and AC is around 850 more or less.

And while I appreciate the 2h bonus Iphice, I am under the impression the bonuses for 1h are slightly different. I saw one that was on live, but it appeared to be too modern and likely incorrect for p99.

I know for a bard this may seem trivial but as someone who wants to be the very best I can be for the groups I join, I want to have my melee dps as it is maxed to the teeth within my ability. Hence why I ask these questions.

The soft stat cap in particular is important because bards need many stats for many situations and I want to max my ability out with changing gear at these lower levels at least if not end game barding.
