It appears as if every in-era reference to bard dual wield shows a cap of 245 at 60. (Rather than halting at 210 as we have currently.)
I tried searching these forums but I didn't find anything mentioned about this. Apologies if I missed something.
I tried to dig up archives close to where Blue is in the timeline. (But 245 appears in much older archives of these sites as well.)
