Damage cap 75%?

[Chaotic]

I have been reading a little about the damage cap, and some places they say there is no damage cap... is this true?

I ask because the maximum damage reduction showed in the arcane statistics panel only goes up to 75%, and I got 96% on gear + 26% racial which might be too much then ^^

Thanks in advance

Are you confusing damage with damage reduction ? Because there is 75% block chance and 75% dodge chance.

Physical damage reduction

edit: like from the Limoany Skull: All damage taken is reduced by 5%

Well if it's not going above 75% on the arcane stats page, then yes it would be capped. Why ? Because monsters/npcs have resistances too, shields, block, dodge, would be kinda unfair if you could do max damage all the time to them, wouldn't it ?

Have nothing against the cap, and think there should be one. Just wanted to un-/clearify the diffenrent information I got from various forums :o)

Well a lot of people spout crap out their rear end and give misinformation, and certain forums just have elitist trolls who think their way is the only way.

But I can't be certain of the answer I gave, but I am basing that on Runic's logic of shield block and dodge chance. If you have a shield with 40% block on it. You have a tome that gives let's say 15% and your vit is currently giving you 30%. Then that's 85% but you won't see the block chance on arcane stats go past 75% simply cos that's what it's capped at. I'd assume dodge, block, damage reduction are all capped at certain figures. There may be some things that aren't capped like and possibly: armour, elemental resistance, etc, since they're flat amounts. If they're flat amounts I'm not sure if anyone has found the amount yet.
