Either way, Whiskey's method is close. Anything HQ on the marketboard will be automatically maxed on main stats and vit. Usually they'll have 2 secondary stats of which one will be maxed and the other will be short. Once you know the max for that peice of gear for that level, you'll know the numbers for all gears of that level for other classes.

Instead of keeping this a secret to be found out on the interwebs or figured out by the folks like you, why not just make it clear IN THE GAME what the caps are?
