enhancing magic effect caps

[Areal]

many enhancing magic spells cap off at a certain point currently the only reason we have to even worry about our enhancing magic is for the new "gain" spells. examples

Tier one weapon enhancement magic stops getting higher at 21 without day or weather, at around 310 enhancing magic skill

Stoneskin's effect stops at 350 (without gear mods)

I would like to see the caps at least made possible to break so these spells dont slowly become useless

^^ as long as is a bonus and not a nerf i support this.

pretty much it's making it so enhancing magic becomes much more important to skill up even in later levels and old spells will still remain somewhat useful

Umm what....

Awhile back they raised the 300 point hard cap on most abilities spells, enhancing wasn't the only thing capped so was Dark magic.

Currently my 420+ enhancing magic build has a 26 damage Enspell 1, its not capped anymore.

So what about non-enspell spells?

So what about non-enspell spells?

Phalanx is uncapped now too iirc. Stoneskin is still capped.

So what about non-enspell spells?

Phalanx, Barspells, Drain, Aspir and Absorb spells are now uncapped, as far as we know.
Stoneskin is capped, but that is more a function of MND then enhancing magic.

Gain-Stat spells are not capped.
@300 Skill is +5, then every 10 enhancing above that is another +1.

You have a link to any drain/aspir testing? Because as far as I can remember no one has really tested it thoroughly.

Hmm thats odd cause I've gained like my 30 enspell skill ups since i hit 21 (on specific mobs i will hit for 25 enspells but most seem to only take 21) and my enhancing magic set gives +35 skill total iirc but it makes no difference on my enspells

Dig around on BG somewhere, not going to find the link since it's most likely buried in there somewhere. For a long time there was a suspicion that drain / aspir capped @300 skill for potency, although accuracy would still go up. Same with BLU's MP Drainkiss / Digestion and such.

Then SE came along with an update that listed them uncapping Enhancing Magic and Dark magic effects, Drain and Aspir were specifically listed by name.
