There is a nasty rumor that ....

[ShadowAce]

100% DD is not fair old man it basically meant every last man standing event was a draw for example. And people knew what they were getting into when they purchased an AXE instead of a sword or mace which would have been useful for their class so its fair to say that they risked it knowing they would get 100% DD and that one day they might be nerfed. Did people who purchased guardians, upgrade swords and upgrade daggers when offhands were 50% get a refund when they changed it to 30%? nop they knew what they were getting into and they got their just deserts when the nerf hit.

100% DD is not the only problem however old man, there is this PH 50% DD set (and a few lesser versions around). Not to mention that these are not the only stats that need a cap because there are still players who used cheats to make armor pieces with extra HP, DD, Me/Ma/RA attack %.

The solution is to cap the TOTAL stats so they fit scenarios with BiS gear.

Max HP cant exceed dual wielding upg 1.0s (120% and offhand 120%)
Max attack cant exceed dual wielding upg 2.0s
Damage Drop cant exceed 5% of the highest DD mainhand (which is 83%? so 88% would be the cap)

Does this kill anything? nop guards are supposed to use swords defenders are supposed to use maces and they will still get the DD cap. Does this kill DD gear? nop you just wont have to wear a full set to reach the DD cap. Does this kill cheaters? effectively yes but they could make stat armor which would bypass the HP% cap.


Also any class that has 300 int can kiss elemental damage goodbye so then its just invenom which you can also bypass if you have over 40% SD. Sorry but the people you were testing those 100% dd theories were all bad having SD and decent equipment all around will make you immortal and if you have 40% DD the dekans cant kill you either so enter god mode.
