I'll take your word for it and build accordingly~
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.

We tested with Ironflesh too, by checking hit points. Hit points stopped increasing over 10 Ironflesh (with the same Strength obviously)

Game code.

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


Proof enough?

No. You've clearly edited that because (for some inexplicable reason) you've got the hidden agenda of tricking people into not putting more points than ten into their skills.

Where is esi initialized ?

I've never gone above 10 in ps, so i don't really know if it's capped, but it's damn easy to test if someone doesn't believe it.

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.

 Well my next build just got more op.  I was going to go 36/3 with 11 IF and 12 PS.  But now I can go 10 IF and 10 PS and 9 PT by converting less.

mh, I'm starting to believe you. good thing I never had any skill over 9 so far. funny though, especially considering statements like: "barmace reliably crushes through at 12-13 PS" or "throwing rocks with 13 PT are awesome". :P

Retire?

So my level 28 thrower that has grinded up 2+ million xp should just lose out on it or stick around with 13 PT for another 5 million xp to get the retirement bonus and gen 2?

I think not, an honest mistake requires an honest fix.

Fascinating.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.
