Everything stayed the same.
Explain please. It's hard to imagine the mechanic has been changed only to affect tagged skills, since there has been alot of confusion about Gifted Builds a litle more detailed answer might be apropriate.
[14:52] <Myakot_> Secondary skill cap reinstated. Can only raise them to your lowest secondary tagged skill.
[14:52] <Myakot_> are you sure?
[14:52] <Cirn0> should be
[14:52] <Myakot_> No I mean it was your SECOND HIGHEST secondary skill
[14:52] <Myakot_> and now it's second TAGGED? (Gifted chars?)
[14:52] <Cirn0> im not sure what yo umean
[14:52] <Myakot_> "Can only raise them to your lowest secondary tagged skill"
[14:53] <Cirn0> it only affects non GIFTED characters
[14:53] <Myakot_> Okay, so nothing has changed then? Ok, sorry
[14:53] == niamak [~Niamak@x-4790.dsl.dyn.abo.bbox.fr] has joined #AshesOfPhoenix
[14:55] <Cirn0> no problem Myakot
[14:55] <Cirn0> im just tired
[14:56] <Boon> So Gifted chars can leave putting points into secondary till after 24?
[14:56] <Cirn0> they get same problem
[14:56] <Cirn0> can only them to highest secondary skill
[14:56] <Perteks> highest secondary?
[14:57] <Perteks> not lowest?
[14:58] <Cirn0> highest
[14:58] <Cirn0> for Gifted
[14:58] <Perteks> then if he have 200 then he can raise 200 all ?
[14:58] <Cirn0> yes
[14:58] <Cirn0> seems gifted is OP
[14:58] <Cirn0> for support characters
[14:58] <Cirn0> that have no weapon skill
[14:58] <Perteks> for leadears
[14:58] <Perteks> and hth
[14:59] <Boon> And it used to be the same for normal chars?
[15:00] <Cirn0> yea

WOW!
Yeah gifted is so op..... Time to remake my level 35 character because this wasn't explained properly.. I guess.................................................................
Or you could just make a less ridiculous trait then gifted, and kick it out, I don't see any other traits so heavily weighted that also completely change up core mechanics of the game..
So why just put one OP one in?
So we just end up all skilled and gifted? Mmmm, how varied and unique we will all feel :P
No, you've misunderstood it ;).
To clarify Secondary soft-caps. Everybodie's favourite..... EXAMPLES!
Normal character:
Throwing - 70
Traps - 80
First Aid - 150 (tag)
Doctor - 200 (tag)
Sneak - 151
Leadership - 40
Let's say he somehow reached soft-cap with those % in secondary skills, now. So, it SHOULD work like that: after going soft-cap + levels he will be able to lvl-up every other skill up to 150 only, not to 151! As sneak is not his tagged skill, even though it's the highest second.
Gifted character:
Throwing - 70
Traps - 80
First Aid - 150
Doctor - 200
Sneak - 151
Leadership - 40
(You won't get that many SP as a gifted character w\o dumping battle stats ;D) So let's have a look at this, gifted character with those secondary skills will be able to lvl each of his secondary skills up to 151%! Coz it's the 2nd highest, not tagged, but highest.
That's the only difference. I believe, at least, hope I'm not wrong. Otherwise I'd look terribly dumb ><.
Klot - What particularly? There are only 2 thresholds of soft-caps. 250% (for every battle skill, except throwing, for some reason it's secondary), and 200% for everything else (both PVE and secondary skills).
After reaching soft-cap level (24 if nothing has changed, I slightly remember something about changing it), you will be able to spend SP into any of your "battle skills" till you reach the maximum, which is either 250% or *% of your tagged skill.
And concerning Secondary ones I believe I've written something right above.
P.S.
I'm sure I've got something wrong, please double-check me, stuck in this stupid trafic jam ><
