Source of magic balance cap assumption

Has anyone actually done tests to confirm that magic balance is capped, or did someone throw the number 100% up there just because it's not 80? If it really is capped, could someone please give me a link to a record of an experiment that proved it (preferably one that was done after the magic dmg rebalance) so I don't have to test it myself?Sozen Cratos Focker (talk) 17:23, 12 February 2013 (PST)

I don't have the data on hand, but from long experience as a mage I can tell you with certainty that yes, in fact, magic balance does cap at 100%. You can verify with JP wiki if you like.

So, even with over 1k int, you still do less than the max dmg almost 50% of the time?

From my own memory I wouldn't say it's 50%. Downward fluctuations in damage happen often, but it's definitely not half the time.

To answer your other question, I'm generally sporting 1k+ Int at any given time while not wearing anything, even a title.

If the occurrence of downward fluctuations is significantly less than half, that would suggest that the cap, if there even is one, is more than 100%.

Could you tell me how often you get less than your max dmg for a spell with a wide min-max range?

How high have you gotten your int?

It's over one thousaaand. Really, I think Trigger has been a mage for the longest time.
