Critical damage cap @100% now WHY?

[Jar]

I mean None critical weaponskilling jobs where not behind enough already?

Total Crap that my Empyrean great sword is more or less town gear now that my full perle war is way stronger

I mean really SE give all jobs a Critical weaponskill or stop making them overpowered more and more every update.

[Arcon]

While I don't object to the new cap (it only really matters inside Abyssea anyway), I certainly don't quite understand that move. Objectively speaking, it really doesn't seem very fair.

[Karbuncle]

They have planned adjustments to weaponskills in the future (According to the rep in the "Full break" thread).

So theres a good chance DRK might get some nice Critical hit treats, and as Arcon says, It only really matters in Abyssea (The only place the cap can even remotely be reached).

They should just make guillotine and that nyzul SAM WS that is multihit critical chance based on TP, that would fix the problem. =|

But thats far to easy a fix! >:O

Critical damage cap @100% now WHY?

Because if they didn't increase the cap RNG wouldn't be able to increase their critical hit damage any further than what they get from Dead Aim.

This is stupid, and needs to be fixed. There's no way this is intentional, just like the bulshittery that was the 10/tic regain PUP weapon.

[Byrth]

Crit rate also caps at 100%. I guess I picked the right jobs.

This is intentional and was mentioned specifically in the update notes. See Atomic_Skull's post for potential reasoning. Plus, they plain made players more powerful in every regard with this update. 50% Fast Cast cap was removed as well, and 95% Crit Rate cap.

It makes sense. What's the point of giving us more Fast Cast/Crit Rate/Crit Damage gear when players are already able to cap some stats naked or with 1-2 pieces of gear? It opens up a lot of possibilities for new armor when these stats are uncapped.

[Arcon]

50% Fast Cast cap was removed as well [..]

Huh? Must have missed that. Casting time or Recast time? Or both?
