I wanted to know if there is a hard cap to critical damage bonus? The wiki states an hard cap of 190% but is it true? Cause if it is then for an assassin rogue reaching 190% is doable even without a might offense tonic. If the cap is at 190% then i would like to know so i can regear.

I believe that cap only applies to Critical Chance. And I thought it was 80%? Maybe they multiplied out 80% times Critical Damage max (which is I'm not sure, but it's over 200%). 190% / 80% = 238% would be the expected max for Critical Damage, if that's how they calculated 190%. |

Hmm, this is a problem as it will be better for my rogue to get out of the 2 critical damage rings and instead go for attack?deathblow ring or flanking one instead. Hmm regarding crit chance i thought 100% was possible, varric certainly can reach it, but if its capped at 80 then need to regear him as well.

Caps are only applied during combat. As are some buffs. |

Sigh, that's what I get for going by memory. I checked the GUIDE, the 80% cap is for DEFENSE (damage reduction), not for critical chance. So nevermind. I don't know if there is a cap on criticals and if so, what it is.
But why worry about it? 60% crit chance and 200% crit damage is plenty for even Nightmare solo battles.

True, but problem is optimising. If there is a cap on critical damage then a might offense potion is wasted, but according to my tests that does not seem to be the case. As a might offense tonic still gave me quite a hefty boost to damage, so i am not sure what to make of it.
Finally since my current character is a assassin which means that i have guaranteed critical hits. This makes critical damage a more worthwhile stat than attack as its either 20% more attack or 40% more critical damage.
EDIT: hmm looks like there is a cap, the reason might offense tonic doing well was the base damage it adds. A bonus of 58 points to weapons is a lot. But yes cap seems to be in the range of 190-200% beyond that critical damage is kinda wasted. This explains why under the effects of a offense tonic my reaver was outputting comparable damage to my assassin.
