Is there a cap to ferocity and/or expertise?

[Daddicus.6128]

I seem to recall that there was (is?) a cap on ferocity at 100% (1500 points @ level 80). But, the wiki page doesn't mention a cap anymore.

 

Is there a cap on ferocity?

 

And, is there a cap on expertise? The expertise page also doesn't mention a cap.

 

(And for both questions, is it documented someplace I haven't been able to find?)

You can only get up to 100% condition duration regardless of source (expertise or flat % and trait modifiers).

 

I doubt there's a cap on ferocity, if there was then people would not run power weavers with over 270% critical damage, Beast Mastery full zerk Soulbeasts in PVE which push over 250% crit damage (~280% while merged and ~300% under Fury), Berserkers with over 250% critical damage, rifle Deadeyes over 246% critical damage, and power Holosmiths and Dragonhunters with over 240% critical damage.

 

Just remember that ferocity is not as important as base power especially when you don't have 100% critical chance, i.e. 2800 power * 270% critical damage = 7560 effective power while something with 3100 power and 250% is 7750 effective power. With 25 might those two scenarios become 9585 and 9625 effective power respectively.

No, there is a cap on precision (at 100%).

Yes, at 100% condition duration.

Once again, using the wiki helps:

> Condition Duration, like Boon Duration, has a **ceiling of 100%**.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Condition_Duration

 

> From the above equation, it follows 2995 precision is enough to reach **the cap of 100% crit chance**

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Precision

 

There is no mention of a cap to ferocity on any of the related wiki pages, because there is none.

Only things that are capped are Boon Duration, Condition Duration, and Critical Chance.

All three can't go beyond 100%.

Everything else is unlimited.

Thanks for the replies! Cyninja, I missed that; I searched for "cap". Thanks!
