Been playing my SK and finally leveled him to 40th and just found out my Defense is stuck at 200.

Checking forums if its bugged or not and only to find out that its been bugged for a YEAR already and still havent been fixed?!?

L50 and below your defense skill is capped at 200.

The bug being protested here is regarding the L51+ velious era skillcaps. The client currently limits L51+ knight defensive skills to kunark era caps most of the time. We don't know if the limit is purely cosmetic and skills are handled properly server side (still annoying, regardless.)

Its not cosmetic because in some zones it magically lets you have the correct defensive skill and you get ~ 50- 60 more ac from it.

On my paladin I was breaking 1400 ac fully raid buffed with ac gear on.

In kunark zones it would "not show the the bug in" i was getting 1450-1460ac.

L50 and below is capped at 210 as i am experiencing now having defense up but ac not raising.

The client display is irrelevant; what matters is the server calculation for hit/miss and min/max/interval hit. It would be possible to get hit for max every round while your client displays 10000AC.

Correct, unless of course the client display is relevant in this case. That's the problem with this game, we don't know just what the client is (incredibly foolishly) trusted to do. i.e. movement hacks, wt-flying-f?? dupe bugs, are you f-ing serious???? rapid f-ing fire (look up the history of live discord servers) ????????????!!!!!!!! Verant did not protect the game from client hacks, and we don't know how much of that the p99 devs have managed to mitigate successfully. So we see misdisplayed skill values and AC stats and we are concerned.
