Question about skill damage cap

Talking about Hydra,

I was cheking the LOD Hydra guide on Icy veins and they suggest to have a max of 30% extra hydra damage on gears. Why is that? it is capped or something?

“For Offense stats, try to obtain Hydra % bonus on both the shoulders and chest (maximum of 30%),”

The ingame stat on the Offense tab, shows me that im beyond 30%, 41% to be exact, so i dont understand the ICy vein suggestion

The more is not the better?

Thanks in Advance

No, you can have up to 45%. It’s easiest to get on shoulders + chest, it’s harder to get a really well rolled source with all the stats you might want. But if you have a good source (you’ll want area damage too, or possibly APoC if you run Witching Hour instead of Hergbrash’s), you don’t want to limit yourself to 30%. 45% is better. If you have the gear for it, there’s no reason not to run 45%. It’s more damage.

I have come to like ApoC on source, even with Hergbrash’s. If I found another ancient ES with Vitality instead of ApoC, it’s possible I wouldn’t switch.
