Game Mechanics: Melee Damage Cap?

[Somekid123]

I have a mithril 2h. From level 1-10 I was hitting for 21 max, just like live. 10-19 I was hitting for 40 max, just like live. Come level 20 full damage cap should be removed, I am now hitting for 42 max, with a 21 damage weapon, thats x2 the weapon damage for the obvious. - This is as a Shadow Knight.


My level 50 shaman has an 18 damage weapon, he is hitting for 36 max, x2 the weapon damage for the obvious.

Shaman has 120 strength, shadow knight has 178.


Either or should be hitting for more then x2 the weapon damage, right?
