Ranger damage?

[Wolfgang]

i think weapon dmg based on str and weapon dmg on weapon. so if you stats havent increased and/or your weapon's dmg is only 1 pt better then that might be it. i dont play melees and i have no proof to back that up other than what i think i know.

My current wep is an Ebony bladed Sword, 7dmg/24dly, procs ensnaring roots at lvl25...but doesn't mention any level requisite in the item listing. STR is 119, even with SoE buff (str goes up to 135+) I don't hit any harder.
