Hmm... with the word "caps" being used and the questions towards the end of Kaeko's post about testing regarding the difference in damage if the higher caps with Garuda weapons not being reached I figured you guys were referring to stat caps.

That being said it's my understanding that the Damage and DPS stats are the pivotal stats for AA and WS damagw respectively, but also what the stat caps are based on as well. It particularly makes sense, and can be considered verified or at least highly probable, in part due to what we already had established about ARC/BRD stat caps and how they are lower than other DoW stat caps which are otherwise uniform with Ifrit's weapons being that Ifrit's Bow is the only one of the bunch with a DPS value significantly lower than the rest.
