No need your dedore vid has made the point there is no dmg cap per shot.

how so? low 40 / 60 crit is 50 average which proves me right

and that's with me using warped arrow

I was getting 60 without crit as well and up to 80 with crit.

like 89 top crit right?

There's definitely no damage cap per shot that you're currently hitting. I'm not sure there's a damage cap at all on any mob, in fact. There was in 11... It was obvious there. You could go hit a level 1 bunny at level 75 and you'd hit it for the same damage you'd hit a level 20 mob for because of fSTR, attack caps, etc.... But on FFXIV if you go shoot a R1 Marmot, you'll do like 3k+ damage. If you hit a r30, it will do around 1k... And continue to drop the higher the rank of the mob, meaning the cap is either nonexistent, or well above 3,000.

(We know the damage cap is 9,999 currently, from raged NM's)

Now, you're surely going to say "but it's an NM! It's not a marmot!" And that really doesn't matter. If it did, then you wouldn't hit the faction buffalo for more than you hit the Great Buffalo for, because they're both NM's. There is no cap, it's just that NM's have much higher stats than normal mobs, so their vit and def compared to your str and atk are much, much greater. It'd take a huge stat increase to go up slightly in damage because the gap is so large.

To be honest I don't think you guys should bother arguing about a damage cap, everything is probably going to change once they redo the attribute algorithms.

@Phrozen idk, I've seen 80+ crits, but never over 90 I don't think unless it was with a buff.

174 to 94 STR is a huge stat decrease and to not notice a difference is beyond me

90 to 174 pie doesn't increase chance to land spells. It's been said many times.. The only stats that have noticeable effects above 90-100 are MND and VIT.

Care to backpeddle some more?

Or is the argument now that there is a cap on crits?
