Has anyone documented the maximum damage caps per class?

Yeah I think that is a good overview of the code!

My SK is 58, so he would be using this table entry: { 265 Max Extra, 28 Chance, 70 Minusfactor.}

I had slightly off numbers for my STR and Offense. He has 226 STR and 224 Offense, and +48 ATK with 2 AoB items, Firefist, and Grim Aura. He is using https://wiki.project1999.com/Eye_of_the_Rigtorgn , which has 25 Damage on it, and is a 1h weapon.

Based on the EQEMU formula my max damage would be as follows:

1. Calculate the "Offense" variable, which isn't simply the offense skill: 224 Offense Skill + ((2 * 226 Strength - 150) / 3) + 48 ATK = 372.6666666666667.

2. Apply the damage table:
2a. 372.6666666666667 "Offense" - 70 Minusfactor = 302.6666666666667
2b. (302.6666666666667 / 2) + 100 = 251.3333333333334 "extra percent damage"
2c. ((25 Weapon Damage * 2) * 251.3333333333334) / 100 = 125.6666666666667 damage. Add the 11 main hand weapon bonus for a total of 136 max damage. I have only hit for 132 so far, but maybe I could go a bit higher, or the calculation is a tad different on P99.

The one assumption I am making is they are multiplying weapon damage by 2 on step 2c. I can't actually find that anywhere in the code, but it is common knowledge that weapon damage is multiplied by 2.

Either that is P99 specific, or somewhere in the code I can't find. The function that pulls weapon damage on EQEMU seems to just pull the raw damage value. Maybe the damage gets doubled somewhere else a bit further along the function chain.

This formula works out perfectly for the high str/attack rogue with a 15 damage weapon*. It also works out perfectly for all of your shaman's avatar numbers**. (Edit: this might work for your shaman's non-avatar numbers too but I'm not sure on your exact +atk and exact str.)

To me these numbers suggest that the October 2001 patch to bring (edit: pally/sk/bard) onto the (edit: high) damage table has not been applied to p1999. https://web.archive.org/web/20011113...ML/000346.html

* Eqemu damage table of { 285, 23, 65 }
