Does anyone know what the current cap for the DEX mod to SA and what the AGI mod to TA is? I assume they are both the same but haven't seen anything on either.

Raider's Armlets add 1.2 base Damage damage per 1 Point of dex, so it doesn't cap (caps with gear but no actual cap)

The cap is based on how good your gear is, there is no cap as such.

You just have x amount of dex with the perfect gear (+230)..

There may be a cap in the calculation, similar to other calculated stats or there may a point where more does basically nothing because you're already at a capped ratio, but if there is, it's so high we can't reach it.

"just because you can't disporve me means I'm right" frudian thinking went out a long time ago for "if you can't prove it, tough ***"

Until its proven, I'll pretend it's non existant :-P

Well, just due to the nature of digital calculation, there is a cap. But, there is no evidence of a functional cap, a number we could ever even remotely reach.

I have some test to post after football, I know with raiders and 303(109+ 186) DEX SA was averaging 1699 but when i swapped to a hybrid 168(109+159)DEX / CHD+ 17% set it was averaging 1,852. I can more in depth after.
Main: Vajra Sub: Iz

Wouldn't +critdmg work in the same way as cure potency?
As in, wouldn't a DEX/AGI cap (analogous to the MND cap for cures) be indeterminate (or at least harder to figure out) if you also use +critdmg?

Faequeencory, I am not familiar with how it works. but I guess it could. Maybe I should be looking for a better/correct way to test this. All I know is there was a large difference between my 303 DEX set and my 168 DEX / 17% CHD+ set to the tune of 150 dog. If just going by the bgwiki info on calculating SA with DEX mods the 303 set with raiders should win out handily.
back to football

You've clearly missed something because I just tried to replicate your set and I had it the complete other way.
