My question is what is the max bonus stat rank?

Max bonus stat level is 10, at a whopping 117 million experience. Now making some assumptions this is how it'll be breaking down. 117 million × 5 for a total of 585 million. If an average gold game can achieve an average of 100k per match you're looking at 5850 matches, which if they average 15 minutes per match you're looking at roughly 1462.5 hours.

Of course xp boosts and apex missions with bonuses to xp can make this all quicker but that is a lot of time going to be spent grinding up the bonus stats.

It's even worse than that. 1462.5 hours in mission. Not in the menu, not waiting on the game to load, not choosing boosters or skill points, not buying things in the store, and definitely not waiting on a lobby to fill. That number could be quite a bit larger depending on your circumstances (i.e. friends list, lobby luck, computer loading speed, etc).

That's why there was a key word in there, which is roughly.

Collecting 10 million gold in DAIMP for the challenge was same, if not worse, since max gold that could be earned per game was 1.8k. If I did that, I can do this.

Since you can buy 75% exp-enhancers using your mission funds which come for free it actually takes a lot less time. At least it's faster than maxing you URs

If you feel the Kett are a pain in the ass just don't bend over examining Remnant-consoles ...

It's quite a ride, that's for sure but my guess is that Bioware attempted to implement something that would give players something to work towards for a longer period of time. The longevity of ME3MP prolly was a surprise for Bioware as much as anyone, so it didn't have anything like that (i.e., after maxing manifest and challenges). I'm not saying they did it properly, though...

Forget Jesus, the stars died so you could be here today...

TBH Bonus stats are super pointless, and of course the grindiest thing in the game. I thought at first that it'd be like Badass ranks in Borderlands, but +1% health? the heck is that? is like the very definition of useless.
+1% of anything is super pointless, and +10% could potentially make a tiny difference (10 percent of 300 point of shields is 30, so... still kinda pointless) but in order to achieve that you have to grind your life into the game, probably most people will never achieve anything remotely close to the current limit.
If they didn't want these stats to "break the balance" of the game, then why add them in the first place? what's the point of having them if they mean nothing?

Cool concept, terrible implementation.

I can feel the difference, it is small but noticeable. Currently at 6% in all and most noticeable for me are HP regeneration cap and HP+Shield regeneration delay.

They didn't want to repeat the DAIMP fiasco, which didn't limit bonus stats. So they limited them into oblivion, to balance DAIMP with MEAMP.

They copied this from DAIMP? yeah I didn't know.I only tried MP once, had a terrible experience and never went back again. They could've done something different then, because as it is these bonus stats are useless.
