What are the soft-caps and hard-caps for every stat?
I am on my 5th character, (first 4 were on PS4 before I switched to PC), and I still have no clue what the soft-caps are for each stat. Every answer I find on google is either wrong or someones personal opinion on where they level their stats to. I want FACTUAL ANSWERS below that are completely true and not an opinion. Also if possible point out where you should realistically stop levelling a stat on a specific build.

"Vigor has two soft-caps.. 25 and 40. After 25 you do start to get some diminishing returns but it is still worth it for most players to continue to 40.

Attunement has a soft-cap at 40 for efficient FP gain, but if you feel you have enough FP then slots for attuning spells soft-caps at 30 (6 levels between slots up to 30, 10 levels between slots after).

Endurance as always has a soft-cap around 40.

Vitality never soft-caps you will always get 1 equip load per level.

Strength as always soft-caps at around 40, but keep in mind there are weapons that require 50 strength so if that is your goal plan accordingly.

Dexterity is the same as strength soft-capping at around 40.

Intelligence again soft-caps at 40.

Faith is the same that soft-caps at 40.

Luck is similar to Vitality in that it guarantees 1 point of Item Discovery per level.

PS. As a side thing. Some of these appear to have second soft-caps at 60 such as Intelligence and Faith, but not being a huge magic user it is hard to test out if it's just certain spells that scale massively at 60 or just select ones.

Also those looking for a great tanky defence driven build then maximise your Strength. Your defence stat goes through the roof as that stat reaches 40 and seems to keep going up past 40."

Just to add context, you can put opinions down but only do that once factual information has been provided.

don't forget luck works for bleed and hollow builds and it has a cap too
