HR stat caps
Could someone more experienced in the game take the time to post the soft and hard caps on hr stats..?
For example I've read, in an old post on another forum that arpen is hardcapped at 24%. If so, would lesser terror get around this by adding another 5% reduction on top, or doesn't it stack..?
Anyway, with the new pvp armour I'm about to do a lot of enchantment and gear shuffling, so I really need to know what not to waste points on if the returns aren't worth it.
Thnx in advance.

For stats, as far as I know, 24% armor pen is just an ideal number for both pvp and pve since dungeon bosses have max dmg resistance of 24%. Anything more than that is a waste in PvE. In PvP, it depends on what classes you fight against. Higher armor pen would benefit you when facing gf/gwf/tanky HR/DC but CW/TR.
Crit soft cap is around 2000 then hard cap at 3000.
In PvE, against T2 bosses, getting 24% armpen would be ideal, but you don't actually need 2536 armpen, as the values in your STR gives you that resistance ignored as well.
In PvP, you should be get more armpen, as most people have tenacity that adds to their damage resistance.
With the other stats, do a search on diminished return values, I thought I remember seeing some on the forum. Power is the only stats that is more flat than other numbers, but probably still won't give you as much of a gain. You can just change some pieces of your gear around and see the % increase and judge for yourself. Example, you have 2500 crit, adding another 120 gives you .4% increase vs losing stats in other area. That's how I roughly decide how to balance my stats out.
If you're unsure on which pieces of the PvP gear to get, try it out on the preview shard first to see what kind of stats you'll be getting.
Have the gear and skills, but lack the friends to play with? Come and apply for Essence of Aggression. We have been here and strong since beta. (Immature, rude, and arrogant people will not be accepted)
Stats:
Power (no cap)
Critical Strike (softcap ~2400/hardcap ~3000)
Armor Penetration (softcap ~1750)
Recovery (softcap ~1600)
Life Steal (softcap ~1000/hardcap 1300)
What do you think..?
So if you go for PVE where you spam At-Wills non-stop you need a lot of Power.
For PVP just go for defensive stats and you can do not care about stats just grab more deflect and so on.
Now I know why Archer's PVP set have Critical and ArP as offensive stats. And after we do not have good range encounters there is no big reason to go for Archer's better is Combat. So as I see Cryptic made not next class but new version on TR named HR... as some people wrote it when the class was realized.
Cheers, you're a trooper.
The question simply becomes which stat is worth getting over another stat.
Crit reaches that point vs. power far sooner than most people think. In most cases anything over 1.5k crit is better spent on arpen or power. Arpen is arbitrary, more is better vs. specific enemies. I make no effort to stack it and have about 2.7k anyway (dread weapons 2/2).
1000 Power is about 6% more damage. In contrast you will need over 8% more crit to offset this which is why power is so much better than crit. I only have 1k crit (combatant) and don't really have any intention to get a single Azure. I still need to do some math but the most that will happen is to maybe get that special enchant that gives both power and crit, unlikely though since it's only 10% extra total @ rank10 and I will likely find that crit past 1k is not a match for power.
