Is there such a thing of having too much STR for WS.
I was told there's a cap on how much total str a sam can have in WS before it doesnt help your dmg output anymore.

I just want to comfirm if anyone knows this to be true or just made up, and if I should let off some str for maybe atk or something more usefull.

STR adds damage in 2 ways:
* Increasing fSTR
* Increasing your WS mod

fSTR does cap (exact value depeneds on mob and your weapon), but you can increase WS mod indefinatly.

So there is never a point where you have too much STR, but once you cap fSTR the returns from adding more STR will be lower.

Technically the more you add of any one thing to increase dmg the returns will get lower. Well at least by precentage. So there can be points where attack will beat str. Though attack can cap sorta. Well Cratio anyways while ws mods can't.
