Is your feature request related to a problem?

Hits above 2.147... billion deal no damage in-game. (personally tested in game this week, wiki will be updated soon)

Describe the solution you'd like

A warning in pob to let people know. Nothing more heavy-handed is warranted imo.

Describe alternatives you've considered

none

Additional context

TLDR
If you want the maximum performance inside poe, you want your max hit with all boxes checked to be below 2.1b. invest into attack speed and qol and quant with the rest

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the hit-damage calculation and any existing warning or validation UI. Confirm how the 2.147-billion damage cap is represented, then verify that a warning appears when calculated hit damage exceeds it and remains absent below the cap.
