At what point did someone decide that the bonus cap on attributes was 17 points?  I remember way back, it was said that the attributes capped at 51, so any buff that you put on the attribute, if it went above 51 it was wasted.

 

However, now people say that you can go over 51 because your attribute bonus cap is +17...

 

But, if that's true, why does your attribute never go above 51 on your stat list?  If I recall, if a bonus says 51* or +500*, the asterisk means that you are at the maximum allowed for that bonus.

 

I remember reading somewhere, either the old Monolith website or the strat guide, that the attributes didn't go above 51.

 

I'm just curious about this because I've got my perception and focus both maxed out at 51, and I always seem to beat someone who claims they have a perception of 65+....
