All skills are capped at 10, anything over that has no effect whatsoever. Tested and confirmed.
Happy now?

The problem is even if you are number 1 in NA you are still only number 467 in EU or the worst in AUS(number 17)

Actually, according to this calculation:

The cap for all skills is 5. Going beyond that means they have no affect whatsoever.

Formula adapted from the core engine.

I still don't see how this is possible considering I couldn't 1 shot plated chargers with lances and 10 PT, but I can with 12 PT.  Pretty impressive placibo effect if you ask me.

Increasing your strength gives you bonus damage.
Skills being capped at 10 is not speculation or supposition, it's a fact, backed by game code.

I just love how most people (me included) have absolutely no idea how the warband system actually works :D

He'll just convert it into more strength after hitting 10PS 10 IF if that is the case.
Strength gives more dmg and HP passively. he'll still be a tank, if this is TRUE then he'd be More of a tank with this knowledge.

if it isn't true? Then he'll use the same old stuff.

*considering they are referring to the game engine, which has skills capped at 10 [due to single player; so on] -- I can tell you right now, anything working in percentages and incremental increases DOES scale to skills higher than 10. Hell, I want to see what they are citing as it not working and being tested.

Meanwhile, proving me wrong. I'll gladly be wrong if I learn from a mistake~

Also, I have declared myself #1 NA hybrid thrower
Formerly known as Marathon.
As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.

Any old timers remember the old athletics myth, of 15 being cap, but skills count twice, so max benefit of agility is 7.5? Thoroughly debunked. LMAO at the everything except the WM statement.

Game code.

@ 004D840F
mov eax, gSkills.max_level[eax]
cmp esi, eax
jg short loc_4D8424
mov eax, esi


Proof enough?
