Nope, unless you're referencing that Perfect Defense would cap at that level. As far as I've ever seen players have always been the ones to find the caps besides the PD reference. Also as to songs Sentinel's Scherzo takes 800 skill to cap.

I meant on the whole

subject. If just talking about BRD skills then I believe the cap at 600 total yeah, not sure though. Think that was part of the complaint originally that BRD gear became mostly worthless because after 75 cap was broken no gear was required to cap your potency for buffs. But as for other jobs, I think SMN capping at 600 was SE saying it as an example.

•Summoner
•Alexander's Perfect Defense
•Effect duration will be reduced from ninety seconds to thirty seconds plus an additional second for every twenty points of one's summoning magic skill. For example, with a summoning magic skill value of 600, the ability's effect duration would be a maximum of sixty seconds (the base thirty seconds plus thirty more seconds for one's skill value).

In either case, different things have different caps, but as for BRD I do believe it caps at 600 skill total for buffs, I have no clue about debuffs, I would assume they have no skill cap and it simply continues to effect the accuracy of songs. I assume Enfeebling Magic Skill does it the same way, if I'm wrong someone please correct me.
