If you are at the hard cap you can dial back on your base stats a chunk and let the perk do the work...Originally Posted by BigUrn Go to original post
OP - the stats on the skill card are hard capped. So if the perk increases sticky bomb damage but you are at the cap you won't get any extra damage. The skill however can do more damage than listed because things like armor, elite damage and explosive talents increase the damage.
Skill cooldowns can be reduced further through skill haste even if the description doesn't show it.
