That's the old HP cap; the new one is 3500 something. It's called the hitpoint cap because you can't exceed it; nothing will take you over the cap.
Active (Freedom): Setna (Ice/Psi Dom), Arram (WP/KM Tank), Tesmiel (Elec/SS Tank), Astredax (Robot/Dark Mastermind), Operative Vidali (melee fortunata)
Retired (Virtue): Gaav (Inv/EM Tank), Baqra (Fire/SS Tank)
Thx. I noticed my Ice tank was sitting at 3397 with Hoarfroast and it hit me that it exceeded what I kept seeing about the cap. And I thought remember there was mention of a new HP cap but couldn't seem to find it via search. And I wasn't sure when the cap was raised but I thought it was recent.
So, what's the current best way to get a WP tank to 3500...or is it even necessary?

It's no more necessary than it was before -- which is to say, not necessary at all. You should, of course, raise your HP as much as you reasonably can, but there are other priorities to consider. +DEF and +recharge generally trump HP, for instance.|

I should say +DEF definitely trumps +HP. Recharge is more subjective, depending on what kind of build you're looking for -- hyper-defensive, balanced, scranker-ish.
Given that hitting the old cap was pretty hard to do on WP Tanker, the new cap probably isn't worth worrying about. I'm sure it can be done, but once you get past a certain point, your net gains begin to diminish into near meaninglessness. What's a couple hundred HP when you already have 3,000+? A little under 7%.

3542 seems to be it afaik, as my main ice tanker can't seem to exceed that number.
Thanks all. Now I know it's been bumped up + have a number for which to shoot.
In my search after the first few posts here, I did come across this link @ Paragon Wiki.

It's not the exact same number but close enough......and a darn good resource I didn't think of before.
On my Ice Tanker, I cap out at 3534 hp. No idea how Flints reached 3542.

The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

Ingame now, I'm looking at 3533.96, and patchnotes are saying 3534.
What is it? I keep seeing 3212. Is this correct?
What powers or bonuses allow you to exceed it?
Just started playing around with it on a newer toon and realized I didn't know all the details.
