Will your Proficiency continue to add %EE to your weapon (or charm) even if the weapon has maxed EE?

For example, you have a 60% EE Tier 3 Axe, and Rank 1 Proficiency in Axes. Will you do an amount of 61% EE in Axe damage, or will it stay at 60%?
(thus making it pointless to have perfect EE in whatever if you already have high proficiency rank in that)

it keeps adding

til cap which used to be I think +20 over max on tier

this is right. for example lvl 25 (tier 8) got a maximum of 160ee.. so spawnable dagger got a maximum of 160ee nowadays.. the maximum including profs is 180ee.. so if you use a 160ee dagger and have 20 dagger profs you reach the maximum.. you will be as good as a guy with a 176ee dagger and 30 dagger profs.. cause his profs will only add 4ee.

the total maximum is always 20ee over the cap

your 60ee tier3 axe will be improved until you have 20 axe profs (since one of the latest patches you can also see the effect of your profs on your shown dmg of the weapon)

Thanks guys.
