Skill Cap

[Luk]

OK, haven't seen this one discussed yet.450 was the skill cap at level 70, anyone know the new mark for caps.

<p>skill caps are 6.5 x level</p><p>so at 80 its 520</p>

Skill as in Stats (STR, STA, etc) ?I had always thought that this was (Level x 15 + 20) but I read that a long time ago.What about Resists (Level x 150) ?And In-Combat Power / Health Regen (Level x 1.5) ?I'm not really good with such things so any confirmation would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

<p>No, skills as in skills, like slashing and piercing</p><p>Thanks Paeto for the info</p>

[Fringe]

Doh! That makes sense.Can anyone confirm the other caps anyways?Thanks.

Are those skill values also affected by diminishing returns ? Anybody knows how they affect concrete damage output ? With all the items available in ROK it's getting a pain to choose between + pierce/slash, + combat art, +melee crit and so on...

As far as I know the +pierce/slash/crush skills determine your chance of hitting the mob. </p><p>Also, Faerie, don't go choosing +pierce/slash over +crit/DA/CA damage. Theres some good discussion about this on the eq2flames swash forum if you want more info</p>

Thank you very much for your answer, it confirms my assumptions... I remember someone telling me that +pierce/slash/crush also increased the damage, but he was unsure so... Usually I go for the +crit since it affects both auto attack and CAs, so you can't be wrong this way <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Will check the eq2flammes forum then.
