Stat caps

[Remn]

there is no Hard Cap for any stat, on your character.
however, there a main stat( STR, INT, etc. ) cap on equipment base on its iLV.

the stacking main stat will beat stacking 2ndary stat every time (except in PvP)

Not entirely true for tanks. There is a point where we have too much VIT that probably never gets used (ex. WAR in 10k hp / PLD in 8k hp). In this event, STR starts showing better returns rather than VIT.

That's true for some content but the hardest content in the game requires full main stat for tanking until there is suitable gear to lessen the beneficial effects of a large hp pool.

Many parties are clearing SCoB with STR spec tanks though, so "requires" is an excessively strong word to use in this situation. Maybe "recommended"?

That is not the hardest content is it? Savage mode is, and requires full vit to survive. Even dps and healers are wearing melded vit and tank accessories just to survive.

Ah okay, then yes VIT builds in that one(four) situation(s) is needed! I agree with you
