I'm positive your formula is wrong because I used a Tantor's Tusk (50/60 2h) in test of tactics on EQ live when Velious was highest expansion. It hit for over 300 per swing, 100% sure. Abacab told me the dmg bonus on that is 49 at level 60. With my formula it comes out to the following:

(255str + 250 piercing)/100 + 49DmgBonus = 302.5 max hit

With your formula it wouldn't break 300.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also dug this up off the internet so you can probably figure out what the correct dmg formula is off that:

"59 monk during Kunark with Imbued Fighter Staff, 255 str, max 2hb skill, epic atk buff, max hit 221"

Using the formula I posted, the damage with that would be (255str + 252twohandblunt)/100 = 192.66 + dmg bonus = 221

So it would require a damage bonus of 28.34 on a level 59 with 40delay weapon for mine to be correct. I'm not sure if mine is 100% correct, but it looks way closer than yours does.

With your formula it comes out to 164.16 + dmg bonus = 221.

Sorry but no, if this isn't some bullshit caster's paradise server and melee do normal damage, it will look like the following.

(255str / 200 2hs) / 100 = 95.55 + 2h damage bonus

= somewhere around 110-120 max hit with 255str

Not 1999 Classic

Yea, I remembered that after I posted. Just use an 8 for that number instead and you get 95.55 + damage bonus of 8 = 103.55 max hit with Mithril 2hander which is still WAY higher than what he posted.

I hope the formula he posted isn't what's actually being used on the server. Even if there was a different formula for max hit used during classic and kunark, the P1999 blue server already is in kunark so it shouldn't be using what he posted.

Going Monk or Shadowknight, 100% sure.

druid,cleric, or ench

lol, are rangers that bad?

i played a ranger in classic and did fine. of course I was boxxing a wizard with him, but alot of solo PVP was viable in south ro, mistmoore, and innothule among other zones. I also stacked fire resistance like no tomorrow, i could kill almost any mage except whorella with those fucking stun whip earth pets.

rangers are pretty good overall and just get better with every xpac

I will say the RNG epic is not hard to get. If this info helps push u to what it sounds like u really wanta play.
