hey guys,
i've got a question. how true is the damage cap posted on game mechanics?
Quote: "levels 1-9 - damage cap is 20
levels 10-19 - damage cap is 28
Levels 20-29 - damage cap is 60"
as a 14 SK (135 str), having a 9 dmg 1 HS weapon, i never reach 28 dmg. is this common? how hard will that weapon hit for max dmg at lvl 20? i want to know to see if i switch to a 2hs when reaching my twenties.
thanks and sorry for my ignorance [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For figuring out dps, I used a program called EQDPM calculator. It was lost with my last harddrive, and I can't seem to find a link that works (someone that has it that wants to host the file on dropbox or something would be delicious!).

And that damage cap is absolute. My advice would be to very politely ask a higher level shadowknight what kind of weapon they had at those levels, or what advice they would give you. Usually people sitting in East Commonlands having nothing better to do than help you, and I have made some good friends just by asking a few questions and chatting for a bit.
