I was looking in 60's chat a couple weeks ago and someone said there was a cap on how much + heals and damage one can receive from adorments and items is this true and if so what is it.

Pinski

The cap is whatever it takes to double what base damage.

hey cal does this take in effect a certain base int?

Eili

So i understand this right i stripped naked and took all my buffs off had like 52int cause of drink. I examined killing swarm which is Adept3 its damage was 95-117 im guessing that is its base damage. That would mean 95 to magic damage adornments and gear would max that spell out. Being that its our smallest attack spell i could get magic damage plus gear and get it higher and affect the other spells but killing swarm would get no benefit right?

Pinski

No, that's completely wrong. It's based on base damage, base damage means your base damage with no modifiers. INT is not a modifier.

just for that example, +dam is normalized to 3secs casting time, considering your swarm spell with 1s cast and ~100 damage you would need +300 to damage to double it out.

Pinski

Swarm is a DoT, and therefore uses DoT normalization rules, not cast-time normalization.
