defense efficiency cap?

[cLynE]

i bought a bunch of defense lessons at the weird samurai.
The interacting familarity is on 192.
The defense efficiency skill is on 68.
Which results in an efficiency of 90%.

Do i hit the cap with those numbers? I mean 100% efficiency wouldn't make much sense.
An indicator for hitting a cap would be neat.

how does 100% efficiency not make sense it just means 100% of the damages goes to armor when you still have armor

[cLynE]

ahh i see, thanks. totally misunderstood that.
so, is there a cap or a reasonable final value?
especially in the resulting efficiency?

90% is indeed the cap for defense efficiency

Yeah, this would be nice to know. I've been grinding Defense Efficiency trying to get it to 100% for quite a while. The skill will keep increasing, but you don't get more out of it after a while.

Ah, but you do get more from it. While cap is indeed 90 - you'll need to invest extra levels in body to hit it. So if you're trying to speed run and cutting down on body levels - those extra points in def efficiency will play thier role.

I was just about to come here asking about a Defense Efficiency's cap.

One thing I've noticed (with my now level 95 in the Defense Efficiency skill) is that there definitely seems to be a hard cap to how much it can provide. Unless it just grows really, really slowly at high levels.

While my body stat is at 0, my 'defense efficiency' (when mousing over the defense icon) is 60%. And I'm pretty sure it's been 60% for at least the last 10 levels of the Defense Efficiency skill. In other words, for the last at least 10 levels of the skill (and likely much longer than that, although I hadn't bothered checking until now) I've gained absolutely nothing from it.

I wish the devs would place a cap on the skill level itself to avoid confusing situations like this. If I had seen the skill was no longer increasing, that would have been an obvious hint to move on.

Sooooo... you are telling me that my run where i go to train with the samourai with 450+ gold and now having something like 143 in defense efficiency... is NOT efficiency at all ? T_T
Well... i guess i'll forge instead...
