Will this across-the-board damage reduction include base weapon damages as well (e.g. will a Sacred Short Sword go from doing 74-76 damage to 9-10 damage)? And if so, will skills that do x/y weapon damage (e.g. Phalanx, Gorefest, etc.) remain unchanged to compensate?

Also...

In other words, skills with already OP damage will now be more OP b/c nn worry about hitting damage cap. :lol:

There isn't really much more to clarify on the subject other than "everything will simply feel the same".

Well no, it means magic-damage based skills and feedback (mana) skills can actually do decent damage now since those were the ones being blocked by damage cap the most.

As your dropping char compatibility with earlier versions, are items still going to be the same? or will compatibility be dropped for those as well?
