I stopped hunting my wizard account around the middle/end of March, so my data's only up to that point.
For comparison I also looked through my paladin's logs. I've been getting normal 80+ bonus values on stuff like feint or charge perfectly fine even as of last week. This cap of 80 on the bonus is not a blanket cap that affects all SMRv2 stuff, but seems to be specific only for 917.
I looked through my empath's logs for for SMRv2 stuff for kicks, and found the following from 5/15/21, during the story event with that manticore:
That manticore was a event critter and probably had all sorts of negative effects and wounds on it, but nonetheless there were multiple 917 hits with bonuses of 80+ from 917 during that event.
The 80 bonus cap definitely existed based on my own wizard's logs. I don't know if it affects only certain characters or if it's a bug they managed to fix recently. Are you still seeing that 80 cap as of now? I cancelled my wizard account a while ago so I can't quite test this on my end.
