As of this evening I got an update: Dodge, Block, and Counterattack are capped at 125.

Also, unconfirmed but suspected by some was that Melee/Ranged defense was capped at 125. Initially I had a response that indicated that this wasn't the case. However, they are in fact capped at 125 until such time as (most likely) the combat revamp, when the to-hit formulas etc will be redone to be able to accept larger numbers without creating someone unhittable.

Thought you'd all want to know,

Do you know the difference between the skill mod "counterattack" and "two handed melee counterattack" ?

There are skill tapes for both and my stats show 110 counterattack from heavy swords and 0/+8 further down under two handed. (Using a +8 two handed melee counterattacks skill tape)

Trying to cap this as best as possible with tapes/attachments. Thanks.

A "two-handed melee counterattack" would only work when wielding a two-handed weapon as opposed to the counterattack skill whichwill work when either a two-handed weapon or carbine(?) are wielded. However a lot of skill tapes were left in game even though the skill mod itself was removed and is redundant - thismay be one of those. If it is a working skill mod then theoretically it should stack with your normal counterattack up to the new 125 cap,otherwise +8 modifier is not likely to do very much on its own. I can't say whether this is the caseor not as I am not sure how the rolls are calculated.

So the official line is they have capped the defenses?

Anyone care to explain why a defense cap of 125 would have sucha detrimental effect on someone with a Melee Defense of a 100?

Well, I told you once, told you twice.

I told you before.

The devs said that Dodge, Block, CounterAttack, Ranged/Melee Defense were internally capped at 125. The UI could show a number above 125, but nothing beyond would count.

Okay, I'm going to do a bit of duel testing, with my shirt on and shirt off, and see what the real difference is (if any) between 110 counterattack and 110 counterattack with +8 two handed melee counterattacks also
