Having skill 10+ useless?

[Nemeth]

So, recently I've heard that having a skill over 10 is useless and waste of points, as the game is somehow capped at 10 max (probably hardcoded?). Is this possibly true? Can anyone actually test if having 12-13 PS is the same as having 10 PS? Same for IF and basically every other skill? That would be quite game-changing if it's proved to be true.
As usual I don't expect any official answer from devs, as they like to leave their playerbase wondering around when it comes to game mechanics.

[Braeden]

yeah, this is pretty clearly not true.

13 powerthrow rocks are awesome.

[TomMyyY]

Are you kidding? That can't be true.

[cmp]

Not true at all, I noticed a huge difference by going from 10 PS to 11 PS.

[karasu]

And even bigger difference specially from 11 PT to 12 PT.

Skill cap is 15 and adding skills above 10 is not useless. Tell that to people with 12 ride. These guys ride circles around cav with single digit ride. You can add skills up to 15 and they count for full.

[Duster]

Just got back from doing extensive tests on the duel, and there is a huge difference between 10 and 11 power throw, like night and day.

I'd appreciate if the trolls stayed out of this thread and encourage people who have experience with 10+ skills to share their thoughts.

[kongxinga]

Not sure whom you are calling trolls, but the 15 point skill cap is a fact. I had 13 WM pre big patch (yes the sacrifices armoured cav has to make is tremendous to all those with horse envy) and it gave me more wpf. I guess WM is the easiest skill to see the effects with its tangible bonus. Each point after 10 still gave wpf. I will roll a 12 ride after I retire if you want, and we could race horses versus a 10 ride, and I will leave you behind, assuming equal horses. the effects of WM above 10 are very clear and visible. I think this satisfies your curiosity? I was trying to reach that 15 point skill cap, but I wimped out and went strength. GRRR. Could have gotten 14 WM and 7 ride if I presisted a bit more and remained pure.

* oh  I see. The guys saying GIGANTIC difference are kidding you. It is the same effect, except for WM I believe since higher levels of WM give (gave) slightly more points than the previous level, but the increase was barely large enough to keep up with the rising costs. Going from 9-10 ride will increase ride speed by x, going from 10-11 will increase that by another x, not some massive jump like 5x.

Hmm well I've done 12 IF, 12 PS and 13 PT

IF is tough to tell because its only 4 hp
PS you can tell it has an effect when u hit high armored players with high end weapons... for me 12 PS and 52c means 1 shotting mail and with 10 PS having to hit them again (i don't like being bothered with a second swing)

and PT is hard to notice because its so OP in the first place either way u have dingleberry in ur ane

[EliteDragon]

The most noticable skills that I have seen are PT and PS. Increasing the skill above 10 for either results in astonishing 1-way victories.

11 wm is by 10 points better than 10 wm. I have tested it.

[Dravic]

Trololo

Start buffing agi and give us moar wpf from WM.

[chadz]

having skills past 10 has no effect (except wm). I thought i capped the website at that, seems I've forgotten it.

It has been like that since the very start of crpg.

I thought that was common knowledge.

[Camaris]

Don´t believe chadz! He just wants to get rid of uberbuilds *g*
