Default Shaman melee damage

This is what is posted on the P99 wiki (https://wiki.project1999.com/Game_Me...t_and_Damage)- seeing if anyone can confirm:

Damage Cap

Damage cap = (dmg * 2) where dmg is the weapon's stated damage.

levels 1-9 - damage cap is 20
levels 10-19 - damage cap is 28
Levels 20-29 - damage cap is 60
30+ - lifted, can do 2x weapon damage or more based on class

TODO: a recent patch implemented "class-specific" damage caps, so the general ones listed above may no longer apply for your class. For shaman's the new values seem to be 18 for levels 1-9, 24 for levels 10-19, 40 for levels 20-29, and 52 for level 30+ -- difficult to tell on this last one since strength is bringing in a lot of higher hits now, but 52 appears to be the modal hit still despite having a 29 dmg weapon. 4-19-2017***


Anybody confirm?As I read this, shaman have a lower damage cap than other classes? Or is that true of say druids or clerics?

If this is accurate, then wouldn't that mean for levels 20-29, any dmg/delay weapon with a damage over 20 would be wasted for a shaman, right? And then 30+, any weapon damage over 26 is wasted, right?
