I was told the stat cap is 300 and the individual stat cap is 176.

Then how is this possible:

Anthrax
---------------------
Stats:
Strength: 270
Dexterity: 93
Intelligence: 161


Stat total...524!!!



Dee..

Stat cap is 290
indivodual stat cap is 176 (can go up by some methods)


he has 270 str as demon poly adds 150 for the 20 min duration it is in effect.

as kinetic said 290 total stat cap, 176 indiv. stat cap.
below i have provided some char builds and usefull information reguarding the stat cap and need for -stat pots.. i hope u find the information usefull

if ur building a warrior you would want something like

160 str
120 dex
1-10 int
(or some close variation)

if u were makeing a mage

120 str
1-10 dex
160 int
(or some variation)

keep in mind on this shard stats do not stop gaining at your 290 cap in which case say u were a warrior with the stats i have provided above and you just recieved an int gain which put your int at 11 you would then be at 291 on your total cap at this time the next time you logged on game or closed and opened ur backpack or a world save occured you would then loose a -1 to all skill

this setup which i am not to much in favor of however is put in place for economy reasons thus creating the need for -dex, -int, or -str pots which you can purchase from a gm or high skill alchy..
the -stat pots will lower the named stat by 4 points... as you reach the final stages of char development on a warrior or mage and perhaps even a tank char you will find need from time to time for these pots so that you stay below the stat cap of 290

does anyone know the cap as a poly in demond?

Pretty sure there isn't one. If you're at stat cap/below stat cap before polymorphing - you should be fine when you do polymorph/cast buffs.
