So we only need to use 2 +16 Be clothing defense?


If so Ill replace my others with +16 unarmed dmg/terrain negot.


I did try fighting with only 2 peices then i put on the rest I had and didnt see any reduction to dmg i was taking so it must be capped. I willtry fighting next with nothing at all on and see what happens.


Glad I read this post or I would have kept thinking there was no more caps.

So if I understand this correctly, due to the 'diminished returns' that's built in now, having over 250 melee defense using skills/tapes doesn't have much of an effect?

This is of course aside from CoB, we know that adds to the defense.


This is imporant, because otherwise I would have wasted a lot of my dabbling skills in added defense when I could add them to accuracy to get an offensive bonus.

Im sitting in the caves right now. I tried fighting a brain with NO clothing but my boxxers on. I took 165 damage everytime the brain hit me. I then put on all my BE clothing. I still took 165 damage. I tried all combonations of Food/Clothing with zero results.


It isFACT now for methat the game is capped. I am capped just from my skills. FOOD and BE do nothing.


That really tics me off. I would be willing to betthat my FS defenses dont do anything ether. I bet two elite pro's caps you. CU and ROTW has burned me at every turn and this is just another.


Im gonna get some armor from my guild leader now.


Correction: Synthsteak does work,dropped my damage taken buy close to half but didnt last for more then 10 secs.

I just did a respec from TKM/PIke to Sword/Pike.


Fighting the same brain in the cave with zero armor/clothing I now take only 130 damage compaired to the 165 with TKM. Thats right.


WTH is going on here? Im not going back to TKM now,no reason to.


I did notice that with the Swords the COB dosnt make me takeany less damage but it is also now only +250 to my defense. Ether way COB dosnt do anything but dosnt matterbecause i nowtake 35 points less damage then TKM,can now use armor and do close to 2k dmg to target..

Hi all


Funny enough i just started a new message on boards regarding BE clothing as i am having problems with it, im FS and MTK & MD, I just bought some BE clothing that is +15 melee/ranged defense. This has no effect and does not work atm due to a bug or being broken itemand is due to be included in the next bug list i've been told.


I had a duel with my friend with the BE clothing on and without and I still took the same amount of damage regardless. I think m8t is correct in saying that all BE items cap at +25, which was the case pre-cu with docs BE clothing.


Hope this is fixed soon !

I don't think it's a cap issue, I think it's a bug with clothing. I do not think the defense stats on BE clothing are working. I started a thread on this but it's not getting much attention. It looks like when you use CoB you cap your defense skills everytime. BE defense clothes don't seem to be working, I did notice a much higher stick change with warcry and intimidate with +17 Warcry/Intimidate clothing however. I still want to try some +unarmed damage/terrain negotiation clothing however.


So as a TKM, keep CoB up and forget what your melee defense is.

isn't it a +25 cap on each piece of clothing per stat?
