Damage cap and damage enhancement values.

[Camel]

Hey all! I had a quick question as this isn't something I've personally tested. 

I recently rolled an Ice/Kin Corrupter and was wondering if maxing out your damage enhancement value while at the damage cap with Fulcrum Shift makes a difference?

IE; would a power with 96% enhancement value do more damage than that same power with only 76% enhancement value while I'm at 400% damage bonus?

Thanks in advance!

Nope.  It can be a waste to enhance for damage if you plan on getting capped from other means (like fulcrum).  Some people use this as an opportunity to get creative with slotting.

No but resistance debuffs and procs do bypass the damage caps.

Thanks! That's what I was hoping for and what I slotted for. I was just wondering because my damage enhancement values are hovering around 60% and then all damage procs.

It's not a bad move at all. Did the same on my DP / Kin with the two AoEs. If I'm firing them I'm in a high target fight, therefore I'm FSed up to the gills. 

 

So half a Superior Scourging Blast into Empty Clips & Bullet Rain along with a Forced Feedback and let FS (and procced up Spirit Drain as +Dam and another AoE) carry the slack.
