Skill Mod Caps

[kyrenic]

I found most thanks to Biophilia's Scrapbook and some internet archivers but I was not able to find them all. Anything with a "?" is one I could not find any credible reference to so I do not know the value of it or if it even exists in the case of some SEAs. I can find no documentation to stacking defensive stats over 125 (i.e up to 175) in order to keep the defense at 125 when under a negative state effect.

The [Max Skill Limit] number is how far your profession skills can get you with your 250 skill points and not go over the hard cap if there is one. (I.e. you can get a Dodge number of 210 with Master Pistoleer and Master Fencer but it caps at 125 for profession skills)
The [SEA +xx] number (Skill Enhancing Attachments, which are both Clothing Attachments and Armor Attachments) cap at 25 (ie 5+5+2+3+10 = 25, any number over 25 is reduced to 25). [SEA +0] means that there are no SEAs for that skill modifier.
The [+Racial Modifier] number is the bonus from a specific race that is added on top of you current skill mod value and will go over some hard caps (such as crafting experimentation) but not defenses (such as Defense Vs. State).
The [+misc] number is for uncommon or variable bonuses like food/drink, Squad Leader buffs or anything else not covered by the previous 3 modifiers and will be explicitly stated.

I have a revised list of this that has everything included and working from the EMU. I have been told I was dead wrong, and then told I was dead right, and then dead wrong again, within two threads from a dev/csr here. So rather then argue about it or go into a long debate about what i may or may not know I'll simply post you the link, and let you decide for yourself.

http://swgawakening.com/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=927


The information you posted there are "common sense" things like burst run efficiency. At one point there was a tape. Not now though. So up to you to decide on your guide what you want. Just be careful though. You may be told you're wrong, and you may be told you're right

As far as "hard caps" the only real hard caps that ever come into question are combat caps. According to the code the "hard cappped' stats are secondaries only. Counter attack, Dodge, block. These have a "hard cap" of 125 but can go higher through powerboost/Sl buffs/chef foods ( results vary on each stat ). Thing to keep in mind with each though, is the general rule of a stat that caps near or at 125 is that each point is worth 1% until 75 then 1/2% until 125 = 100% at 125. Now add in a basic rule of thumb that someone/thing has a BASE 5% chance to hit you... doesn't really matter if you go over 125.

Things like melee/ranged defense depend on the attacker. Example: If you have 250 melee defense and a TKM is attacking you with 255 melee accuracy, which by the way is not unreal. They have a pretty even chance to hit you, and you have a pretty even chance to not be hit before any mitigation such as dodge or block take place. So the higher the melee/ranged defense the better, but again it depends on the attacker.

Speed for all intent and purpose caps at 100 = 1 second which is the cap on attacks, any attacks, per attack round per profession, per character. So anything over 100 is a waste.

All these hard numbers are well and good, but what matters is ranged modifiers + movement + defense + secondaries + accuracy + ability. A "hard capped" melee attacker on the move can literally have a 25 accuracy because he/she is moving and the defender "hard capped" on defense can literally be hit every step due to ranged modifiers/states/food/environment/clothing etc etc etc.

So in summary, while the hard numbers are great, SWG is probably the hardest game to min max on considering how manyvariables take place in combat. For combat anyhow.

I kind of went on left field there to the combat section but the overall point is, whether or not you have "concrete" numbers, you need to get with the devs here to give you a concrete answer. Only they can tell you what you're playing with on their server. No amount of internet research will tell you the changes they have made and what effects they have for you.
