thanks Almalexia for the the update
when i looked back at my gear i realized i might be soft capped so i looked this on the forums and on ARC section someone made a deep tests on stats for ARC and found out there is a soft cap at 280 thats pre 1.21 and since patch notes said the stats effect WS more ( cap raised ) so i need to look up the new cap and it feels around 295-300 this is just feeling no deep test yet as i'm going to do that later tonight

my stats were around 300 STR - 520 ATT - 260~ INT ( pre 1.21 gear)
so when i used more STR it didnot give any increase because i was capped and when i used INT my dmg jumped massively because i was way under the "Suggested Soft Cap"

after the patch i got 304 STR - 300 INT - 560 ATT but no matter what i do the damage output feels the same

Have you came across cap number yet or felt like any numbers yet ?
