Thread: Melee/Ranged Defense Cap?
i don't think there is a cap on how high you can go from skill tree bonuses. so if you get +300 melee defense from a triple melee mastery, it's all yours.
but there is a cap on AA's/CA's/BE tissues. +25 is the cap from anything that isn't in a skill tree. (ca's, aa's, etc).
Thanks for the answer Jeisyn. I logged in at lunch for a few minutes and noticed that if I was wearing 3 different pieces of clothing, each giving +16 Melee and Ranged Defense, my skills window showed me getting +48 to both. I've been away since January (came back for the CU over the last few days) but I seem to remember the skill window stopping at +25 as you suggest.
I'm not sure if that means I'm not REALLY getting the full +48 bonus or not, but that's more data.
yeah, i wish the skillsheet would reflect the cap...
as it stands, you're correct that it will show the +48..
People have been testing it and you won't see a difference from +25 to +60. (from what i've read).
to be sure for yourself, take off your BE clothes and get someone to hit you a few times with melee hit. put on +15(or whatever), repeat, put on +25 and repeat, then put on +48 and repeat. you should see dmg reductions up to +25 but nothing after.
Terrain negotiation works a treat at +25, and unarmed damage mods aren't working at all. HOPEFULLY that mod is fixed as we could really use the damage bump to go with our new action cost...
Cheers,
