Hidden Weapon skill cap?

Dalayan Beginner
I've noticed that my displayed atk varies by 26 when I swap the order on my weapons. Swapping Blade of Shifting Dimensions to offhand and moving Akzalk, Shard of the Mirror to mainhand causes my atk to drop by 26. I have both 1hs and piercing at 250. I also checked all my gear and could find nothing that gave any type of boost to 1hs though I do have one in the bank. When I equip Belt of Darting Blades with it's +15 to 1hs mod and put the 1hs in primary it boosts my attack by only 6. But, I do remember that on Live until very recently rangers capped piercing skills at 240. Is there still some code buried that is using this old value to calculate displayed atk? That's the only thing I can think of that could cause that much variation in my attack.

And before the masses get all bent out of shape screaming "it's only 26 atk", I know of less than a half dozen items in the game that can provide that much of an attack boost.
 
Similarly client-side for the new priest/int caster melee values, which is why your atk doesn't raise when your offense does.
 
Ah that's why my ATK hasn't gone up on my SHD, I thought that was the case, thanks for clarifying.
